<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">Beginning last summer, the metadata workgroup has been working on a clarified and revised GIS metadata standard. We are happy to report that this draft is now
available for wider review by the Oregon framework community at <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/CIO/GEO/fit/metadata/Oregon_metadata_standard_ver%20_2%2001.pdf">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#44546A">The draft will be open for review until March 13, 2015. If no substantive changes are needed upon completion of the review period, it will be forwarded to the
next Framework Forum for presentation to the Oregon GIS community. Comments on the draft should be directed to me.
