LINZ Coordinates Geospatial Metadata Workshops & Provides Ongoing Support for Users

Three ANZLIC (Australia New Zealand Land Information Council) workshops related to geospatial metadata were held in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland in early August 2009.  The workshops trained people from central and local government, CRIs and the private sector to act as trainers in their own organisations for standards-based metadata for geospatial data.  People who attended the workshops learnt how to use the recently released, free, standalone ANZMet Lite metadata entry tool plus metadata guidance resources.

The ANZMet Lite tool can be download from the ANZLIC website.

The metadata guidance resources can be found on the Australian Government Office of Spatial Data Management website.

Workshop presenters were Liz Marchant (ANZLIC Executive Director) and John Weaver (Manager, Office of Spatial Data Management), both from Canberra with support from LINZ (Greg Drummond and Geoff O'Malley).

LINZ is providing ongoing support through its 0800 number (0800 665 463) for the ANZMet Lite metadata tool and for the ANZLIC Metadata Profile.
