Metadata Wizard

===========================================================================================

The MetadataWizard is a useful tool designed to facilitate FGDC  

metadata creation for spatial and non-spatial data sets.  It is a cross-platform desktop application

built using an open-source Python architecture.  

Complete user documentation available [here](https://doi-usgs.github.io/fort-pymdwizard).

It provides a user-friendly and efficient environment for metadata creation, 

editing, preview, and validation.  Built-in tools facilitate and automate the creation of high quality 

metadata records.

* Auto-population of challenging metadata sections such as the spatial reference, 

spatial organization, and entity and attributes, based on information contained in

the data (CSV, Excel, Shapefiles, etc.)


 ![Alt text](./docs/img/EA_screenshot.png?raw=true "Screen shot") 

* Auto-population of contact information for USGS affiliates, 

taxonomic information from ITIS, or keywords from USGS controlled vocabularies.

* Built-in FGDC validator that highlights any missing or error elements directly on the GUI and in a printable report suitable for metadata review.

* Copy/Paste or Drag-and-Drop of entire sections, subsections, or individual content

between different records or other tools including XML-Notepad and text editors.

* Built-in help documentation that guides users through common and detailed questions about metadata.

This project is modeled off of the original [Metadata Wizard](https://github.com/dignizio-usgs/MDWizard_Source), which was designed as a toolbox in ArcMap and required an ESRI installation.
