Go-Geo!, the innovative geospatial portal from EDINA, has been running geospatial metadata workshops over the 2005-2006 academic year, following on from a successful couple of years at 12 universities.
Typically, the workshops run for about two hours and provide an overview of metadata and their relevance to the Go-Geo! portal and to data management and sharing, plus hands-on training for the Go-Geo! portal and Metadata Editor tool.
There are seven more workshops available for this year, so please contact Tony Mathys (tony.mathys@ed.ac.uk) to arrange for one. All that is required is a computer lab with Internet access and facilities for giving a presentation. EDINA can provide all the necessary support to publicise, organise and run the workshops.
