This training is offered free of charge and will teach attendees the use, creation and maintenance of geospatial metadata. The classes are offered at two levels: Beginner and Intermediate. Users with little to no experience using metadata should register for the Beginner Metadata class. Users that have experience using metadata or who have written or edited a metadata record can register for the Intermediate Class. Both classes will prepare the attendee to submit metadata records to the Virginia Metadata Portal at http://GISData.Virginia.gov. Classes are scheduled as follows: BEGINNING METADATA class Wednesday, May 7, 2008: 9:00 am - 4:30 pm Virginia Commonwealth University, Trani Life Sciences Building, Room 103 1000 W.
