training programme, aimed initially at local and central government delegates,
and government related organisations. The response has been great so far
but there are a few places left on most sessions. If you or a colleague
is interested in learning more about metadata best practice, metadata standards,
and how to use and implement MetaGenie into your GIS and data management
strategies, then please click on the relevant link below to book your FREE

Catalogue gets an overhaul |
| With the release
of MetaGenie completed, the team are now working hard to improve the quality
and quantity of information on GIgateway. |
| |
| Work has started
on a complete overhaul of the data on the GIgateway Catalogue node. This
is used by smaller organisations that are unable to maintain their own node.
Current data records are being updated and converted into a format suitable
for loading into the MetaGenie editor. The records will then be sent to
the data creators for checking and subsequent update. |
| |
| In tandem
with improvements to data quality, there are a number of brand-new nodes
being created, and these will come on line in the next few months. |
