Author: USGIN Specifications Drafting Team
Description:This document defines the metadata content model required to meet USGIN resource documentation requirements. The intention is to promote development of interoperable metadata records for a federated resource catalog system by focusing on the metadata content first. USGIN implements this content model as a profile of the ISO 19139 XML encoding of ISO 19115/19119. See http://repository.usgin.org/uri_gin/usgin/dlio/337. This is a living document undergoing updates at intervals; for the current working version, see the USGIN specifications GitHUB repository at https://github.com/usgin/usginspecs
