In writing the report keep in mind the goals for this project
category are that metadata becomes a standard operating practice
through metadata training, metadata creation experience and
organizational support; and that the resulting metadata is harvestable
through the Geospatial One-Stop Portal at http://www.GeoData.gov. This is
achieved through one of the following options: a registered
Clearinghouse server, Open Archives Initiative Protocol (OAI-PMH) or
FGDC browse-enabled Web Directory.
