Dear Ted,
Thanks for those interesting presentations! Cool to watch them play while relaxing from the keyboard, and I learned many new things too! I took the freedom to put the link up on the Links section in the geonetwork-opensource.org Links section. I hope that is OK with you?
I ran into the following:
Presentation 1 - "Standard Metadata in Scientific Data Formats":
- Slide 7 went on just to long for my distracted mind and so I lost my on that slide I realized.
- Slide 8 blocked, I didn't manage to play it. The browser complained about a missing file, although I don't think if that's the actual cause since it is also missing in the other presentations: /dmc/docs/metadata/player/art_plugins.xml was not found
- I wasn't very clear on the content of a SIP compared to an AIP at the end of the presentation
Presentation 2 - "References, People and Metadata":
Slide 4: We use UUID identifiers in the MD_Identifier field. Unfortunately I haven;t seen this widely adopted yet, although it seems to be suggested in the (still draft) Implementation Rules for Metadata of the European INSPIRE Directive.
Slide 4: We extensively use CI_OnlineResource objects as part of the Distribution Information object. I consider that one of the very interesting aspects of ISO19115 too, next to the others you mentioned.
Slide 10: ResponsiblePartys seems funny spelling to me 
I can see where it comes from but maybe it makes sense to use Responsible Parties in the title?
Presentation 3 - "":
Slide 8: UUID mentioned in full, but no specifics in slide. A cross reference could also be made between this slide and the slide in presentation 2?
In Slide 10 at the end you give a number of interesting uses but they are not reflected in the slide. It was actually the type of information I was missing at first when you started listing the Quality objects. I stared wondering how these would be used/ useful and then you gave uses. It could be worth splitting those out in a separate slide before going to the conclusion.
Presentation 4 "":
Slide 6 could do with a 1 line example (beyond the imagination of the viewer looking at the balloon 
)
The overlap between presentation 3 and 4 could possibly be reduced a bit?
A presentation explaining how the ISO standard is structured would be a great added value too! Seems like a natural evolution of your presentations 3 and 4.
All in all, great interactive presentations!!
Ciao,
Jeroen

Hello all,
I work on various geospatial and metadata projects at NOAA's National
Geophysical Data Center in Boulder, CO. I am interested in mechanisms for
facilitating the adoption of ISO Metadata for NOAA and other datasets. As
part of that work I have begun experimenting with a tool called Articulate
Presenter for
creating learning materials as flash presentation on the web. The tool
includes narration on top of powerpoint presentations and creates
Flash. A few early examples are available from
http://nosc.noaa.gov/dmc/swg/presentations.html.
Many of you know much more about this than I so suggestions, corrections or
pointers to other similar attempts would be great!
Thanks and Happy New Year,
Ted Habermann
