METADATA HANDLING
METADATA TRANSFORMATION/CONVERSION
Metadata Transformation/Conversion services are defined as Metadata Handling Services that, in the case of transformation, apply an adjustment function to the original metadata that alters the absolute values of the metadata (e.g., interpolation, standardization, anomalies). In the case of conversion, the service is designed to apply a function to the data that transforms the relative value of the data but not the absolute. Example: DIF to FGDC
