Metadata guidance

• metadata guidance document for the NextGen Network Enabled Weather (NNEW) Project that involves FAA, MIT Lincoln Labs, NCAR and NOAA This document serves as an excellent model for metadata guidance. It will be updated soon to include ISO 19115-2 and, possibly, some specific guidelines for coverages. (submitted by Ted Habermann)
• NOAA’s GEO-IDE Guidelines and Best Practices Wiki A complementary approach to metadata guidance. Note that you need to create a security exception to read these pages because they have a self-signed security certificate. Once into the wiki, press the Categories link in the Navigation box to see the categories of information covered in the wiki. (submitted by Ted Habermann)
