Metadata Wizard (ver. 2.2.0, August 2026)

The USGS Metadata Wizard is a desktop application to create and edit XML metadata records that describe data products. The tool creates metadata in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) format, as endorsed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). Users can populate an XML metadata record by entering information in the form-based user interface, or by starting with an existing XML file. Output can be saved to a stand-alone XML file.
