 - schematron-based validator of WMO Metadata Profile
 - rubric scoring of metadata

Introduction
------------

John Kozimor of NGDC, associate expert of the team, has developed a schematron-based validator of ISO 19139 metadata records for WMO profile.  The validator is provided as an XSLT2 stylesheet.  Output is XML that lists failed assertions in the input record.  It can be read directly or postprocessed for human reading.

He also developed two stylesheets to evaluate the completeness of a metadata record by applying a scoring rubric. From his explanation:

 The wmoRubricScores.xsl generates a WMO profile completeness score as a 
 text file.  This is a directory to file stylesheet.  Each line in the 
 output text file provides the score for a single metadata record 
 contained within the directory.  The sample output provided in this 
 email (wmoRubricScores.txt) was generated from US-noAnchors collection 
 of WMO metadata records.  This stylesheet requires 'file name pattern' 
 and 'directory path' parameters  be passed in by the user.
 
 The wmoRubricReport.xsl generates an ISO 19115/WMO profile completeness 
 html report.  Appended to the bottom of this report is a spiral for 
 scoring the WMO profile.  This spiral includes best practices 
 recommendations for the WMO profile.  We have found rubric reports to be 
 an effective learning and metadata improvement tool.
