AFAIK, ISO has constructs that FGDC doesn't, so conversion is not as straight forward. GN stores the full metadata record in the underlying data model as is (see metadata table, data column), as opposed to putting content into various tables/columns. That said, you can check out resources like http://www.cits.rncan.gc.ca/html/brodeurj/.protege/.napMetadata/library/presentations/MigratingFGDCMetadata2ISO_BWslides.ppt and http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/geospatial-metadata-standards for more info. As well, you could look into how the original FGDC metadata was created (say from a DB) and go back to the DB proper to marshall ISO output from there. @Dave: I don’t see any FGDC -> ISO stylesheets in GN.

One issue I have is that I have lots of FGDC metadta records I want to get into ISO. Without getting into the whole XSLT realm I wonder if another catalogue say GeoNetwork could harvest from this catalogue to alolow for transformation along the way. Either way, this would be a pretty easy way for people without catalogues to set one up. +1 for python implementation. I’ll have to check out this little tool.
