摘要：The growing use of spatially referenced digital data has necessitated the development of a statewide metadata standard. Metadata is a term that refers to data about data. Geospatial metadata provides information about data content, quality, spatial reference, etc. A metadata standard will help facilitate data capture, translation, exchange, and documentation. The consistency in metadata content and style is recommended to ensure that comparisons can be made quickly by data users as to the suitability of data from different sources. Without standardization, meaningful comparisons are more difficult to derive without reading and learning many metadata management styles. Also metadata standards are important when browsing and finding required data from NSDI. Therefore, collecting, storing, presenting has become as important as the metadata standards. In this study, design and implementation of a multifunction web based metadata tool which able users to create, edit, view standard metadata records in one tool is presented. Also, design of national draft metadata standard which conform to ISO 19115 is briefly discussed
