To participate in this review you must register with the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) and be a U.S. citizen or represent a U.S. organization. You may also register to help adjudicate the comments that are received in this review. This review will help the FGDC establish a position on the draft International Metadata Standard which has been under development since 1996. It is in the interest of the U.S. geospatial data community to assure that the proposed ISO Metadata Standard be compatible with existing FGDC-compliant metadata records. To register, contact the FGDC (email: [log in to unmask]; mail: FGDC/ISO, USGS, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive, MS590, Reston, VA 20192) or visit the FGDC web site at: http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/iso_reg.html You will receive a copy of the ISO Metadata Standard for the sole purpose of review and comment.
