Have you ever wondered how accurate digital maps are compared to paper maps? Have you ever wondered how geographic data is made and who is responsible for its accuracy? Some of the mysteries behind the creation, use and storage of geographic data can be uncovered by understanding metadata. If you have ever created geographic data and don't know about metadata, this class is for you.In this class we will explore the basics to geographic metadata and look at the most widely used metadata standard, FGDC. We will also create FGDC standard metadata files.
