One 2005 goal for the data partnership was to enable every partner's data to be "discoverable" at either GeoConnections or the GeoSpatial One-Stop by the end of the year. To begin that process, the partnership through the Census of Marine Life contracted with Lou Van Guelpen of the Huntsman Marine Science Center to work with several partners to generate metadata.

Lou Van Guelpen was asked at the last technical committee meeting to provide a prototype of "good metadata". By way of illustration, you can view ARC metadata by clicking here

This will bring up a summary in map and text form. Clicking on "See the full description" will provide detailed metadata.
