Much like a library cataloguing system, these > official categories help to supplement your own Theme Keywords and allow > for browse or search across collections without having to guess at words > used in content. Although the use of ISO Theme Keywords is not > absolutely required to participate in geodata.gov, they do allow your > metadata to be found more quickly. There are two ways to associate the > ISO Theme Keywords, as described in the attachment on the previous > email: 1) add a Theme Keyword Thesaurus and Theme Keyword from the ISO > list to all your metadata records, or 2) load a lookup table that > associates the ISO term with your existing Theme Keywords. The following > discussion will greatly assist in building a theme keyword lookup. > > Attached is a perl program (zipped and executable) that can be run under > windows or UNIX to display the frequency of theme keywords you use in > FGDC XML files in a selected directory. This can be a helpful resource > to populate the lookup table in the harvest registration form. If you do > not have Perl installed on your computer, you can download it from > http://www.perl.org/. > > The usage at the Windows or UNIX command line is: > > metapro.pl metadir > > where 'metadir' is the full pathname to the directory containing FGDC > metadata files in XML format. If you have multiple metadata directories > you will need to run this several times. The results will be displayed > to the screen unless you redirect it to a file: > > Example: > metapro.pl c:\metadata\xfiles\ > myfrequency.txt > > Doug. > -- > Douglas D.
