Welcome to the Winter Meeting for the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)! The 2017 theme is Strengthening Ties Between Observations and User Communities. The theme is based on one of the goals in the 2015 - 2020 ESIP Strategic Plan, which provides a framework for ESIP’s activities over the next three years.
[UPDATE] The ISO building blocks session will present a new approach for learning the ISO 19115-1 metadata model. Traditional ISO training approaches present the metadata model from the top down, where complexity is maximized. The building blocks approach introduces students to the standard from the bottom up, via small bite sized chunks. These chunks are simple objects which are commonly used through out the metadata model. While learning the ISO structure students will be simultaneously be exposed to XML, UML and XSL basics. In this session an overview of this learning approach will be presented and illustrated with a few examples.
