ICSM ISO19115-1 Metadata Best Practice Guide

This document was compiled by OpenWork Ltd (OWL) on behalf of and with guidance and contributions from the ICSM Metadata Working Group (MDWG). The purpose of this document is to capture the consensus best practice guidance for the use of recommended ISO 19115-1 metadata elements for organisataion in the Australia / New Zealand region. Further this guidance will aid the migration from the retired ANZLIC Metadata Profile of ISO 19115:2003 to the currently endorsed ISO 191125-1:2014 (including Amd.1:2018).
