If I am honest I was not impressed by it (clunky and strange links (click to
put in a contact and it opens an e-mail window) and not easy to use) but it is
a only a Beta version so I hope it would improve in the future. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>It
is attractive to some that we can provide MEDIN compliant metadata through this
Location Programme tool which I imagine would not be that difficult as it would
just be the enforcement of some fields and incorporation of specific vocabs. In
particular, for the likes of some who are having difficulty justifying using a
different standard from the basic GEMINI2.1 then if the LP tool can also spit
out MEDIN compliant metadata then it would help their cause. I do not
think we have sufficient information now to make a decision if we should request
the LP tool be adapted so what I suggest in the short term is we get further specifics
on how the tool could be made to deliver MEDIN metadata, how, and to what cost.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I
am still attracted by MEDIN for a desk top tool as other users have specifically
also requested this - i.e. SeaZones metadata maestro. Perhaps once you
can provide us a demo version of this then we can explore further how this can
be supported in the longer term and at what approximate cost.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>I
am also in mind that we do not want too many different tools that it becomes
confusing for a user which to use to produce metadata – this may be a
case of good/clear presentation on the MEDIN website. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
