Abstract
 Sanborn's Metadata Creation Process for Their USDA NAIP Projects Track: Metadata and Data Publishing Author(s): Steven Straka Sanborn won a USDA contract in 2004 for the NAIP project which consisted of four states. Each state had a delivery of DOQQs and county compressed mosaics (CCMs) of each county in the state. Once the imagery was captured the turn around for a final delivery was very short and required that most processes be automated. Each CCM had to be accompanied by a metadata file and a shapefile showing the coverage and DOQQs make-up of that CCM as well as a metadata file for that shapefile. This paper will address how Sanborn used ArcObjects 9, ArcCatalog 9, VB 6.0, and the lastest version of perl to create and maintain this metadata. I will address how Sanborn used the USGS metadata parser (mp) to verify the metadata before delivery to the USDA. We will also discuss how ArcMap 9 was used to visually verify the MrSID CCM files before shipping.
