General Use Experience
mdEditor designed/laid out in such a way where optional or potentially more complex sections are collapsed until toggled. Required elements and those that are the most important for a usable/useful record are emphasized via GUI real estate allocation and layout design.
Default element values within the mdEditor form are present or available where appropriate.
Help tips to inform users how particular elements in the mdEditor should be populated and which are mandatory are present for different fields/sections of the form.
User can dynamically validate their metadata record in the mdEditor against the ADIWG JSON schema to assess for completeness/compliance as they add/edit content.
Dynamic error reporting is JSON element specific (where is the error occurring?) and tool may provide additional tips or a link to documentation to understand how particular elements should be populated.
Keyword web services (or static hard-coded Controlled Vocabularies) are available for use within the tool when populating place/theme keywords.
USGS individuals have ‘auto-import’ contact feature available to pull in their contact details (P. Schweitzer’s resource could most likely be used for this).
User Login/Power User Options/Extended Possible Features
mdEditor allows a user to ‘save’ and return at a later point to continue editing a record in the form.
Offline version of tool as stand-alone?
User loads an existing metadata record (partial or complete) into the online mdEditor by browsing from their local machine. Input file format = FGDC-CSDGM (content populated may be <100%-- only map-able elements ingested).
User can complete a metadata record in the mdEditor and save/export a stand-alone metadata file to their local system. Output file format = FGDC-CSDGM (content populated may be <100%-- only map-able elements exported).
Ingest routines with input file in format other than ADIWG JSON generate report that identifies which elements were not mapped/transferred.
Taxonomic section ‘auto build’ from ITIS service?
Tool provides feature to auto-build spatial reference/extent section of ADIWG JSON record? A user points to an ESRI supported dataset and .prj and spatial extent are read in and written into the correct elements/structure.
