DEFENCE SUPPORT GROUP
Welcome to the DSG Metadata Entry Tool (MET) Update Page.
Background
The Defence Support Group (DSG), Department of Defence have developed a tool to facilitate the creation, viewing and editing of metadata records for spatial information. This will be used by people working both within or external to DSG.
The MET will support the implementation of the National Spatial Information Management System (NSIMS). NSIMS will support the use of spatial data in approved data formats for the planning, development and delivery of a range of DSG and Defence activities including capital infrastructure works, the maintenance and operation of Defence properties, the provision of Garrison Support Services and management of natural and heritage assets (waterways, vegetation, flora, fauna that resides on Defence owned land or are impacted by Defence activities on non-Defence owned land).
The users of the MET would be members of a data maintenance group which may be working within or external to DSG. The MET can be downloaded and installed on a PC for use as required. The user will be able to use the MET to create and edit metadata stored on storage areas within its organisation.
Downloads

The MET is a standalone desktop application that that will connect to the Defence Information Environment (DIE) when it tests for MET components requiring updates.
If the MET is installed on a PC external to the DRN the MET will access the notification file via the internet (i.e. assuming the MET has access to the internet).
Click the link below to Download the latest version of the MET (for non-DRN installation only). (NOTE for DRN use: DO NOT use this install for DRN installation - You need to log a job with the DRN HelpDesk instead)
