Several templates are provided, all adhering to the ICSM guidance, for services and datasets and to suit ACS and EMSINA requirements.

   ANZMetLite v2 does not support the ANZLIC Profile of ISO19115:2004 or, more generally, any ISO 19139 encoded metadata. The ISO19115:2004 was superceded by ISO 19115-1:2014 and the ICSM Metadata Working group voted to move to this new standard and cease support for the ANZLIC profile. Therefor, support of ISO 19139 encoded metadata was not included in the remit of this tool.
