[Data-Mongers] USGS project looking for ISO metadata expert

[Lightsom, Frances]

I've got a little project in USGS that was planning a workshop the last
week of June, only to discover that our NOAA expert on ISO metadata can't
attend. We're having trouble finding another date for the workshop, so
we've started looking for others who might help us with the ISO 19115
family of metadata.
Any volunteers or suggestions?
I'll include the summary of the project, below.

USGS has been a leader in producing high quality metadata records to enable
discovery and re-use of research data. (Numerous examples may be found in
the USGS Science Data Catalog, https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/.)  In the
1990’s, USGS embraced the  Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content
Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) and developed tools and
quality-control systems for use across the bureau. Soon it will be time for
USGS to transition to the international metadata standards known
collectively as ISO 19115. As a step toward the transition, this project is
convening a workshop of data specialists from across the bureau to propose
content specifications for USGS to aid in authoring metadata records in the
new standard. These specifications will enable USGS to maintain metadata
quality while also enjoying the flexibility and modern features of the ISO
standard. The project will present a proof of concept, by using the
proposed specifications in the metadata toolkit developed by the
interagency Alaska Data Integration workgroup (https://mdtools.adiwg.org/).
On completion of the project, the new specifications will be offered to the
USGS Community for Data Integration (CDI) for review and improvement. The
workshop procedure will also be published for future use to develop
additional specifications that will be needed to fit the diverse types of
research data that USGS produces.
