The Technical Committee 211 of the International Standards Organization
(ISO) has declared the International Metadata Standard a committee
draft, allowing for a review by the broader geospatial data community.
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:

You will receive a copy of the ISO Metadata Standard for the sole
purpose of review and comment. The ISO Metadata Standard is a
