NEARC-L, The Rhode Island Statewide Planning Program and the University of Rhode Island Environmental Data Center are conducting a free *RIGIS Metadata Author's Workshop* on *Friday March 25, 2016. * This free all-day workshop steps through how to build standards-compliant metadata using out-of-the-box tools provided by Esri ArcGIS Desktop 10.3. This will be a crash course in metadata; specifically focusing on why good metadata matter, how to effectively use ArcGIS Desktop for creating metadata, the anatomy of an ArcGIS metadata record, and step-by-step instructor-led training in creating an FGDC-compliant metadata record <http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata>. This course will focus on helping RIGIS data contributors meet the RIGIS metadata standards when submitting datasets. All participants must bring a sample dataset that they wish to write metadata for. This will allow everyone to walk away with a metadata record to continue building from on their own. The workshop will be hosted at the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, RI. A follow-up series of online office hours will be exclusively available to participants afterwards. Registration is capped at twenty students, with priority given to active data contributors to RIGIS. *If interested, please apply online at * *http://www.edc.uri.edu/survey/index.php?r=survey/index/sid/382487/lang/en* <http://www.edc.uri.edu/survey/index.php?r=survey/index/sid/382487/lang/en>* no later than 5pm on Friday, March 4, 2016. *Please contact Erica Tefft ( [log in to unmask]) with any questions about this special opportunity.
