The ANZLIC Spatial Resources Discovery and Access Toolkit ('ANZMet Toolkit') has been developed to support the implementation of the ANZLIC Metadata Profile as part of ANZLIC's role to "facilitate easy and cost effective access to ... spatial data and services". The ANZMet Toolkit has been developed by the Office of Spatial Data Management on behalf of ANZLIC's Spatial Resources Discovery and Access Program Steering Committee.
The ANZMet Toolkit comprises a suite of resources that support the creation and publication of ANZLIC-compliant metadata, including:
- ANZLIC Metadata Profile Short User Guide
- ANZMet Lite Tool (inc. Quickstart & Short User Manual)
- Instructions on how to publish metadata
- Educational Reources Library.
For more information about the ANZMet Toolkit, please contact Margie Smith by phone on 02 6249 9270 or send an email to info@osdm.gov.au.

Introduction
This document introduces the ANZLIC SRDaAP Toolkit.
This document explains how a Toolkit user can create their own presentation using the Library of slides and Research document.
The ANZLIC Spatial Resource Discovery and Access Education Slide Library is currently a collection of 62 slides. The expectation is for about 10-15 of these to be chosen to customise a presentation about Spatial Metadata. The notes for the slides are chosen from the following research document.
This document contains notes and facts that can be used with each of the slides occuring in the Education Library powerpoint. Again it is to be used to customise the presentation that you wish to give. It is not meant to be a hand-out.
Producing your metadata using ANZMet Lite
This is an introduction to the following documentation that explains how to use the metadata entry tool.
The Short User Guide provides plain language guidance about the information required to create an ANZLIC-compliant metadata record and references the elements contained in ANZMet Lite. The Guide an explanation for each element recommended by ANZLIC; including practical guidance on what information is required to be documented. There is also a quick reference A3 table [PDF 57Kb] of the elements.
The User Manual provides step-by-step guidance on how to create a metadata record using the ANZMet Lite metadata collection application.
ANZMet Lite User Manual - Cloning a Metadata Record [PDF 424Kb]
This is a specific example providing step-by-step guidance on how to create a template metadata record file for cloning using the ANZMet Lite.
The ANZMet Lite metadata collection tool is a basic, standalone application that supports the creation of an ANZLIC-compliant metadata record. The application is designed to self-install once the file has been unzipped and selected.
This presentation is a light hearted attempt to show the value of metadata.
