Dave asked: Can anyone update the status on the FGDC XML to ISO-19139
converter?
http://eden.ign.fr/xsd/isotc211 offers the following notice:
" Coming soon, an update corresponding to document 211n2411 (Text for final
ISO 19110:2005/FDAM 1, Geographic information - Methodology for feature
cataloguing, Amendment 1). This is a major update due to important changes
in the UML Models."
I have conferred with FGDC staff on a plan going forward, but we'd like to
await this new development, so that we can better package in the FGDC
"Entity-Attribute" elements which are semantically equivalent to those in
ISO-19110. Hopefully, soon after that's released we can complete the
revision of an XSLT which will support transformation of 100% of FGDC
elements.

Bruce (and all),
So am I correct to understand that no present methodology exists (other than manual) to convert mp generated XML into a format readable / usable by GeoNetwork? My head has been in the sand a long time, but isn't a significant portion of the metadata out there in the FGDC format? Wouldn't it be a significant expansion to GeoNetwork's reach if this were possible?
Anyone interested in doing this work? How much would it cost?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Bruce,
While recognizing the importance to not lose information that could be captured in ISO19110, I think many of us would be very happy with converting all the rest right now into ISO19115/19139 
Any chance you can release the XSLT that does that part now? We can than later update that with a more elaborate transformation.
Cheers,
Jeroen
