Metadata Help

  • Examples of FGDC compliant metadata are available as a guide for documenting other data sets.
  • Answers to frequently asked questions about metadata are found in the Metadata FAQ's section.
  • The Ten Most Common Metadata Errors are listed in a PDF file from the FGDC and the National Metadata Cadre.
    (NOTE: Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view PDF files.)
  • Need help with understanding metadata standard terminology? Download NJMetaLite help files for GIS friendly definitions. After opening, just click on the index tab and input the field title to display a GIS detailed definition.
  • View the generic Metadata checklist (requires MS Word) used in the metadata training class. Checklist must be utilized in conjunction with the personal metadata template, ESRI ArcCatalog, and procedures discussed during class. Contact John Bocchino with any questions.
