Dear Jacqueline,
For some reason I did only now see this email. Could you tell me what the license is the XSLT files are released under? I'm the chair of the GeoNetwork opensource geospatial catalogue software and I'm aware that there are a substantial number of users interested in having the FGDC CSDGM to ISO translation readily available in the software. Any new source code we add to the project should have a license that is compliant with the GPL software license GeoNetwork is released under to ensure the code can freely be distributed without running into copyright or license issues.
Second question: I see this is version 1.0, so I can assume it is pretty much final? Do you see a new (bug fix) release coming up soon?
Thanks in advance, regards,
Jeroen

The Metadata Transform Working Group (made of members from the FGDC Metadata Working Group, NOAA’s National Ocean Survey, National Geophysical Data Center, and National Ocean Data Center; the U.S. Geological Survey; and various other organizations) has been collaboratively building transforms for the transition of metadata among standards. As the development of these transforms and libraries for translation of content is a collaborative effort, any questions or comments can be sent to ncddcmetadata@anonymised.com to be passed along to the working group.
* *FGDC CSDGM to ISO Transforms
<http://www.ncddc.noaa.gov/metadataresource/metadataandxml/files/CSDGMtoISOv1.zip>\*
- A zip file containing the FGDC CSDGM to ISO Version 1.0
transform using the MD_Metadata root. Once unzipped, there will be
four .xslt files, FGDC CSDGM to ISO 19115, FGDC CSDGM to ISO 19110
(FC), FGDC CSDGM to ISO 19111 (MD_CRS), and FGDC CSDGM to ISO
19111 (baseCRS).
* *FGDC CSDGM to ISO Test Cases
<http://www.ncddc.noaa.gov/metadataresource/metadataandxml/files/CSDGMtoISOv1test.zip>\*
- This is a zip file that contains input and output files of
multiple test cases for transforming FGDC CSDGM xml records to ISO
19115, ISO 19110 (Feature Catalog), and ISO 19111 (CRS) xml
records. These records coordinate with the CSDGM to ISO v1 xslt.
* *FGDC CSDGM to ISO Crosswalk
<http://www.ncddc.noaa.gov/metadataresource/metadataandxml/files/CSDGM2ISOxwalkv1.xls>\*
- A crosswalk from FGDC CSDGM to ISO 19115. This crosswalk
incorporates feature catalogs (ISO 19110) and coordinate reference
systems (ISO 19111) while also providing comments for suggested
best practices.
* *FGDC BIO to ISO Transforms
<http://www.ncddc.noaa.gov/metadataresource/metadataandxml/files/FGDCBio2ISOv1.zip>\*
- A zip file containing the FGDC Biological Profile to ISO Version
1.0 transform using the MD_Metadata root. Once unzipped, there
will be four .xslt files, FGDC Bioto ISO 19115, FGDC Bio to ISO
19110 (FC), FGDC Bioto ISO 19111 (MD_CRS), and FGDC Bio to ISO
19111 (baseCRS).
* *FGDC BIO to ISO Test Cases
<http://www.ncddc.noaa.gov/metadataresource/metadataandxml/files/BIOtoISO.zip>\*
- This is a zip file that contains input and output files of
multiple test cases for transforming FGDC Biological Profile xml
records to ISO 19115, ISO 19110 (Feature Catalog), and ISO 19111
(CRS) xml records.
* *FGDC BIO to ISO Crosswalk
<http://www.ncddc.noaa.gov/metadataresource/metadataandxml/files/FGDCBIO2ISOxwalkv1.xls>\*
- A crosswalk from FGDC Biological Profile to ISO 19115. This
crosswalk also incorporates feature catalogs (ISO 19110) and
coordinate reference systems (ISO 19111). The goal of this
crosswalk is to document the transform developed by the working
group between the FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 and ISO 19115:2003. Please
pay special attention to comments that are italicized.Thanks for any comments and suggestions.
