ScienceBase Data Release Metadata 101 Training
Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 12:00pm ET / 10:00am MT
Presented by Ricardo McClees-Funinan & Amanda Liford, Science Data Management
Is this your first foray into metadata creation and don't know where to start? Do you want to refresh yourself on USGS metadata requirements and recommendations before your next data release?
The USGS Science Analytics and Synthesis' ScienceBase Data Release Team will be hosting a virtual training event that will provide an overview of the who, what, where, when, and how of metadata creation. We will also showcase a walkthrough of an application for creating, editing, and validating metadata, the Metadata Wizard.
Please email the ScienceBase Data Release Team (sciencebase_datarelease@usgs.gov) to receive the calendar invitation for either training.
