User organization Self-registration at: Users are organized into groups A user can be a member of one group only Users can have permissions to: oCreate platform and sensors oPublish own FGDC records oPublish own group FGDC records oManage group members and warrant permissions

Joining a group A user can be a member of one group only A group administrator can attach a user to his own group Users who are members of user groups will not appear in the available users table

Group Management Group Administrator can view, delete, remove, and update user privileges

Group Publishing Group members who have group publishing permissions can publish or deny publishing requests

FGDC Metadata Collapsible forms organized into tabbed sections Fields are color coded by requirement needs Help context link for each field Calendar for date entries Drop-down menus for fast data entry Different modes for editing and viewing Data records are searchable by keywords

Metadata management Two ways to create a metadata record: Upload an FGDC-compliant XML file Enter the metadata manually using the metadata forms

Metadata validation USGS tool to validate FGDC records MP Error report Links for error descriptions

Metadata Import Records can be viewed in multiple formats (xml, html, txt, dif, faq) Records can be imported in XML format.

Metadata publishing Users who have publishing permissions can publish their own records Users who don’t have publishing permissions can submit publishing requests to their group members who have group publishing permissions

Metadata Publishing Administrators will be notified by when a publishing request has been submitted Publishing requests will appear in the administrator page

Administrators must provide comments before denying publication Administrators should validate records before publishing

Platform & Sensors Collapsible forms for easy access Calendar for date entries Drop-down menus for fast data entry Instruments are searchable by keywords Calibration logs management Instruments history management

Platforms management In the platform detail page, user can create and attach sensors and sensor groups

Sensors Users can attach sensors and sensor groups to a platform from available sensors Sensors can’t be attached to more than one group or platform at a time

Sensors In the sensor detail page, users can edit sensor information (measures, manufacturer, history, calibration log, etc.)

Sensors Users can add sensor calibration logs Users can add and modify sensor’s history
