NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center along with other federal agencies and academia are developing common metadata templates that will be fundamental components of U.S. Extended Continental Shelf (ECS) data management activities. The templates include common vocabularies, documentation rules, best practices and an xml representation. There are also crosswalks to and from international and federal metadata standards. Common metadata facilitates data sharing across multiple agencies, supports data discovery, aids in understanding and benefits archive preservation. This presentation will describe, in particular, the inter-agency development efforts of the seismic metadata templates.
