Energy Industry Profile of ISO/DIS 19115-1 v1.0 Release Candidate is Available for Public Review

FYI-- this is a draft profile against the upcoming revision of ISO19115 for metadata, scoped to energy industry, but the scope overlaps requirements for USGIN (I've been very active in developing profile and looked after that).  Please have a look at the docs if you're interested in metadata. Given the standards process time lines, it probably won't directly impact us until next year.
