The Australian Government’s Office of Spatial Data Management (OSDM) has been coordinating a few resources relating to Metadata that you may find of use.<BR>
<BR>
They are aimed at the ANZLIC Profile of ISO 19115 / 19139, however they are also relevant to other users of the standards as well.<BR>
<BR>
(fyi, ANZLIC is Australia and New Zealand’s SDI Governance body.<BR>
<BR>
Also , essentially there is minimal difference between the ANZLIC Profile and the default ISO standard).<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Items of interest:<BR>
<BR>
[1] OSDM Metadata entry point.<BR>
<BR>
[2] Metadata resources page.<BR>
<BR>
[3] What we’re planning with GeoNetwork.<BR>
<BR>
[4] An introduction to using ISO 19115. In particular, I’d recommend checking out<BR>
the document ‘<B>ANZLIC Metadata Profile Guidelines’</B>. It gives a good overview<BR>
of why we need Metadata.<BR>
<BR>
[5] The ANZMet Toolkit.<BR>
<BR>
[6] ANZMet Lite: A stand alone Metadata Entry tool that generates ISO 19139 XML records <BR>
that can be imported into GeoNetwork. While I do not consider it an appropriate Enterprise<BR>
grade tool, it does provide an interesting ‘Wizard’ type user interface to guide people<BR>
through the entry of their Spatial Metadata. The Australian Government retains the<BR>
IP to this product. If there is sufficient interest, I understand that OSDM may be willing<BR>
to release the source code under an appropriate Open Source license. (It is Windows<BR>
based and I think uses MS Access).<BR>
<BR>
[7] A page containing presentations describing and showing the ANZMet Lite user interface.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Congratulations to OSDM for putting this excellent resource together.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
And before we get too complacent, consideration should go to Rob Atkinson’s and Rob Woodcock’s (Australia’s CSIRO) vision of future Spatial Metadata, where metadata is stored and exchanged as part of the data (and data model), ideally via OGC GML Community Schema / Profiles.<BR>

Important issue! Time ago I put together this Wiki page:<BR>
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Metadata_software">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Metadata_software</a><BR>
<BR>
Please add all new findings to it,<BR>
