Abstract: As National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) stakeholders move forward with the implementation of the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) 191** series of geospatial metadata standards, there is increasing demand for information about applications / editors that can be used to create ISO compliant metadata records. The USGS, through the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Office of the Secretariat (www.fgdc.gov), proposes development of an online registration system for developers of ISO Geospatial Metadata Editors to voluntarily describe their metadata tools. Developers will be asked to include information such as features of the editor, its functionality, supported standards, and point of contact information through a login-based, online form. The FGDC MWG (www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/mwg/), whose membership represents Federal, State, Local and Tribal governments and the Private Sector, has requested the development of the registry as a useful tool to learn about available ISO Geospatial Metadata Editors. Since the information about the editors may be of interest or utility to others implementing ISO geospatial metadata standards, the FGDC will make the information collected available on the Web in the form of a simple registry-type database. FGDC MWG users as well as non FGDC MWG members including geospatial metadata implementers from private sector, academia, all forms of government, and the general public, will have read-only access to the editor information published in the registry.

Short Statement: The ISO Geospatial Metadata Editors Registry provides a mechanism for the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) to help Federal agencies and the broader community use the standards developed consistent with OMB Circular No. A-119 and that have been adopted through the FGDC process as well as meet Executive Order 12906 that directs FGDC to coordinate and improve utilization of geospatial data. Several ISO metadata standard updates have been recently released (2014) and the FGDC is now ready to begin implementation of the Registry.
