Sharon Shin	National Treasures: Data Preservation with Metadata	This presentation addresses the loss of knowledge in regards to the data collected and analyzed by the human capital. Metadata is suggested as a solution to aid in data preservation and rescue data and provide means for legacy data discovery and access. Activities of several entities to rescue data or provide a haven for orphaned data will be reported. An executive summary on the USGS Scientific Information Management workshop concludes the presentation.	2006	ASPRS 2006- Reno, NV	Metadata	PowerPoint [6.5MB]
Sharon Shin, Bruce Westcott, Lynda Wayne	Making the Transition to International Metadata	The Workshop focus is on the implementation of ISO migration. It should outline a step-by-step method for migration and explain how various resources can be used. The United States is in the final stages of implementing a new geospatial metadata standard in compliance with the International Organization for Standards (ISO). The new standard is based heavily on the FGDC?s Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) but incorporates new elements, domains, conditionality and formats. The standard will be implemented as an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard and have a broader constituency than the former CSDGM Federal standard.	2007	URISA	Metadata	PDF [700 KB]
Alan Stevens	Spatial Data Infrastructure for Disaster Management in the US	The definition and components of the US FGDC and the NSDI and how it was implemented and evolved in the US.
