ISO Standards: Status, Tools, Implementations, and Training Standards/David Danko

What I’m covering NAP ISO Overview of NAP What’s different and what’s common between FGDC and NAP (and ISO 19115) ISO Metadata Standards Fundamental metadata, data quality, feature catalog, imagery and gridded data What’s new in ISO Schedule

North American Profile (NAP) of ISO 19115:2003 Metadata Selection of items from ISO19115:2003 Promotion of optional fields to mandatory Extension of code lists Addition of values to existing code lists Addition of code lists Introduction of a multilingual register Compliant to ISO19135:2005 on registers English and/et Français Metadata items Code lists Register is accessible on the Web XML document Web Services Web Browser pmetadata/register/index.html

Differences between FGDC – ISO – NAP FGDC Primarily mandatory elements Mandatory if Applicable No language identification requirements Outdated elements US oriented reference systems Heavy use of free text ISO Minimum mandatory Unambiguous conditional statements Core metadata International focus Code lists NAP Moderate increase in mandatory elements Best practices Includes service metadata (ISO 19119) Increased use of code lists

What’s new in ISO Concept of “recommended core” was removed Incorporating services metadata from ISO Data Quality moving to ISO Feature catalog information (entity/attribute metadata) enabled (physically or by link) Responsible party restructured to enable reuse for different roles Many new elements added/improved - examples: metadata identifier improved, MD_Scope and MD_KeywordClass classes added, online linkage in Citation, Reference system type code attribute added,..., 74)
