        Creative Commons Corporation (“Creative Commons”) is not a law firm and does not
        provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of Creative Commons public
        licenses does not create a lawyer-client or other relationship. Creative Commons
        makes its licenses and related information available on an “as-is” basis.
        Creative Commons gives no warranties regarding its licenses, any material
        licensed under their terms and conditions, or any related information. Creative
        Commons disclaims all liability for damages resulting from their use to the
        fullest extent possible.
        
        **Using Creative Commons Public Licenses:** Creative Commons public licenses
        provide a standard set of terms and conditions that creators and other rights
        holders may use to share original works of authorship and other material subject
        to copyright and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The
        following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not
        exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
        
        **Considerations for licensors:** Our public licenses are intended for use by
        those authorized to give the public permission to use material in ways otherwise
        restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are irrevocable.
        Licensors should read and understand the terms and conditions of the license
        they choose before applying it. Licensors should also secure all rights
        necessary before applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the material
        as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any material not subject to the
        license. This includes other CC-licensed material, or material used under an
        exception or limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors.
        
        **Considerations for the public:** By using one of our public licenses, a
        licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material under
        specified terms and conditions. If the licensor’s permission is not necessary
        for any reason–for example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to
        copyright–then that use is not regulated by the license. Our licenses grant only
        permissions under copyright and certain other rights that a licensor has
        authority to grant. Use of the licensed material may still be restricted for
        other reasons, including because others have copyright or other rights in the
        material. A licensor may make special requests, such as asking that all changes
        be marked or described. Although not required by our licenses, you are
        encouraged to respect those requests where reasonable.

        License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in
        consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor
        grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from
        making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.

            public display, public performance, distribution, dissemination,
            communication, or importation, and to make material available to the public
            including in ways that members of the public may access the material from a
            place and at a time individually chosen by them.
        
        10. **Sui Generis Database Rights** means rights other than copyright resulting

            this Public License. **Your** has a corresponding meaning.
        
        **Section 2 – Scope.**
        
        1.  **License grant**.
        
            1.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor
                hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable,
                non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in
                the Licensed Material to:
        
                1.  reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
        
                2.  produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
        
            2.  Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where Exceptions
                and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not apply,
                and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
        
            3.  Term. The term of this Public License is specified in
                Section [6(a)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s6a).
        
            4.  Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor
                authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats
                whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical
                modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not
                to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical
                modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
                technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological
                Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making
                modifications authorized by this
                Section [2(a)(4)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s2a4) never
                produces Adapted Material.
        
            5.  Downstream recipients.
        
                1.  Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material. Every recipient of the
                    Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor
                    to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of
                    this Public License.
        
                2.  No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any
                    additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any
                    Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing
                    so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the
                    Licensed Material.
        
            6.  No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be
                construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your
                use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed,
                or granted official status by, the Licensor or others designated to
                receive attribution as provided in
                Section [3(a)(1)(A)(i)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s3a1Ai).
        
        2.  **Other rights**.
        
            1.  Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under
                this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar
                personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives
                and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the
                limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights,
                but not otherwise.
        
            2.  Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
        
            3.  To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect
                royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether
                directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable
                statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the
                Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties.
        
        **Section 3 – License Conditions.**
        
        Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following
        conditions.
        
        1.  **Attribution**.
        
            1.  If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You
                must:
        
                1.  retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the
                    Licensed Material:
        
                    1.  identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and
                        any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable
                        manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
                        designated);
        
                    2.  a copyright notice;
        
                    3.  a notice that refers to this Public License;
        
                    4.  a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;
        
                    5.  a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent
                        reasonably practicable;
        
                2.  indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an
                    indication of any previous modifications; and
        
                3.  indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public
                    License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this
                    Public License.
        
            2.  You may satisfy the conditions in
                Section [3(a)(1)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s3a1) in
                any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which
                You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be reasonable to
                satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource
                that includes the required information.
        
            3.  If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information
                required by
                Section [3(a)(1)(A)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s3a1A) to
                the extent reasonably practicable.
        
            4.  If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's License You
                apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted Material from complying
                with this Public License.
        
        **Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.**
        
        >   Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to
        >   Your use of the Licensed Material:
        
        1.  for the avoidance of doubt,
            Section [2(a)(1)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s2a1) grants
            You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
            portion of the contents of the database;
        
        2.  if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a
            database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in
            which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents)
            is Adapted Material; and
        
        3.  You must comply with the conditions in
            Section [3(a)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s3a) if
            You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
        
        For the avoidance of doubt, this
        Section [4](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s4) supplements
        and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the
        Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
        
        **Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.**
        
        1.  **Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent
            possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available,
            and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the
            Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This
            includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness
            for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other
            defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not
            known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in
            full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.**
        
        2.  **To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on
            any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise
            for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive,
            exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this
            Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has
            been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages.
            Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this
            limitation may not apply to You.**
        
        3.  The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above
            shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
            approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
        
        **Section 6 – Term and Termination.**
        
        1.  This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights
            licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then
            Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.
        
        2.  Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
            Section [6(a)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s6a),
            it reinstates:
        
            1.  automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is
                cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
        
            2.  upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
        
        >   For the avoidance of doubt, this
        >   Section [6(b)](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s6b) does
        >   not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your
        >   violations of this Public License.
        
        1.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed
            Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the
            Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this
            Public License.
        
        2.  Sections [1](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s1), [5](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s5), [6](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s6), [7](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s7),
            and [8](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode#s8) survive
            termination of this Public License.
        
        **Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.**
        
        1.  The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or
            conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
        
        2.  Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed
            Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms
            and conditions of this Public License.
        
        **Section 8 – Interpretation.**
        
        1.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be
            interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of
            the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under
            this Public License.
        
        2.  To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed
            unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent
            necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it
            shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the
            enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.
        
        3.  No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to
            comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
        
        4.  Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a
            limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to
            the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction
            or authority.

Metadata Wizard
===========================================================================================

The MetadataWizard is a useful tool designed to facilitate FGDC  
metadata creation for spatial and non-spatial data sets.  It is a cross-platform desktop application
built using an open-source Python architecture.  

Complete user documentation available [here](https://doi-usgs.github.io/fort-pymdwizard).

It provides a user-friendly and efficient environment for metadata creation, 
editing, preview, and validation.  Built-in tools facilitate and automate the creation of high quality 
metadata records.


* Auto-population of challenging metadata sections such as the spatial reference, 
spatial organization, and entity and attributes, based on information contained in
the data (CSV, Excel, Shapefiles, etc.)<br>

* Copy/Paste or Drag-and-Drop of entire sections, subsections, or individual content
between different records or other tools including XML-Notepad and text editors.
* Built-in help documentation that guides users through common and detailed questions about metadata.


This project is modeled off of the original [Metadata Wizard](https://github.com/dignizio-usgs/MDWizard_Source), which was designed as a toolbox in ArcMap and required an ESRI installation.
