© HR Wallingford 2010 Page 2 Introduction Metadata Editor Services −Updates −Keywords – NERC Vocab Server −EDMO Database −Contacts Database −EPSG Database Projects
© HR Wallingford 2010 Page 3 Features In creating this practical session I have found bugs: Metadata editor refresh Template file identifier Metadata Maestro is supported via MEDIN There is a programme in place to ensure that bugs are tracked and fixed Please alert me to any problems you have
Metadata Editor
© HR Wallingford 2010 Page 5 Concepts Profile Select a profile −MEDIN Discovery Profile (Datasets and Series) −MEDIN Discovery Profile (Services) Builds a tree of nodes
© HR Wallingford 2010 Page 6 Concepts Nodes Reflects ISO structure Reflects profile names Indicates obligation of elements

© HR Wallingford 2010 Page 8 Templates Create templates for re-use *.szz file Some idiosyncrasies (bugs) −File identifier −Identification information
© HR Wallingford 2010 Page 9 Templates
© HR Wallingford 2010 Page 10 File Identifier System generated UUID: Automatically changes for new metadata Can be saved to a template −CARE – if this is done the same file identifier can be used for all metadata instances based on the template −Delete the file identifier before saving the template −This forces the file identifier to be re-created when the template is loaded
