Metadata Tools

Currently, there are several Metadata Tools in use and in development.
See Hugh Phillips' Metadata Tools page for links to descriptions and download sites
for tools that can be used in conjunction with your existing GIS
and/or database, as well as stand-alone utilities.

Please also refer to the National States Geographic Information Council's
Metadata Primer--A How To Guide on Metadata Implementation by David Hart and Hugh Phillips.
The authors give several good guidelines in Section 4 for selecting the proper
metadata tool for your operating system, your GIS and/or database, and your metadata goals,
and they provide a very brief and clear introduction to metadata and the FGDC content standard.
