EPA & Partners Metadata Training Web-ex/Teleconference
The introductory training will provide attendees with an introduction to the FGDC standard and FGDC compliancy as well as how to use various tools (e.g., a metadata implementation, templates, and editors [specifically the use of the EPA Metadata Editor]) to improve metadata production. This session will also introduce the North American Profile (NAP) of the ISO 19115/19139 standard and will discuss how it relates to the FGDC CSDGM. This session is designed for users who do not have a lot of knowledge about the FGDC standard and its structure or about creating an implementation, using templates or using the EPA Metadata Editor (EME). It is also intended for users who would like to know more about the NAP of the ISO 9139/19115. It does not cover why someone should develop metadata or what the business case for metadata is; it is assumed that most users already know they want to create metadata and need more information on that process.
There will be 3 different courses (introductory, intermediate, and EME 3.0 specifically), each of which will have 2 offerings. The sessions are currently scheduled for the following dates and times: 
Web-based sessions (1-3 PM EDT):
August 19, 2008 - Introductory (1st offering)
August 26, 2008 - Intermediate (1st offering)
September 09, 2008 - Introductory (2nd offering)
September 16, 2008 - Intermediate (2nd offering)
October 7, 2008 - Using the new EME (1st offering)
October 14, 2008 - Using the new EME (2nd offering) 
On-site Session (EPA Headquarters in Washington DC):
October 21, 2008 (9:30 - 12:00) - Introductory/New EME
October 21, 2008 (1:00 - 3:30) - Intermediate/New EME
The training will be conducted as a series of 2-hour web-ex sessions between August and October, with a single on-site one-day session being held in Washington DC on October 21, 2008. It is being conducted jointly by FGDC, EPA, NCDENR, and Innovate!, Inc. and is funded by the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) Cooperative Agreements Program (CAP). Any interested party is invited to attend.
