See if you can get it to validate (make the Red bar turn Green!) (It doesn’t matter what values you use) Access the XML Validation Window via “Metadata > View XML” or “ctrl+shift+x”  >See if your company is listed in the EDMO database, and add it to the ‘Metadata point of contact’ node alongside SeaZone’s contact details >Add some keywords using the ‘NERC Vocabulary Server’ >Create a new UUID >Create your own.szmp metadata project and validate your XML (when you have time!)
