What is the NAP  Community profile of ISO Geospatial Information – Metadata  Addresses metadata for geographic products.  Negotiated content between the ANSI and CGSB representatives.  Format: Profile with “best practices” and simplified diagrams for training, UML in annex

Multi-level metadata Data Series - wetlands Data Series - wetlands Dataset - Paducah wetlands Dataset - Paducah wetlands Feature Type - marsh Feature Type - marsh Feature Instance - Mandy’s Marsh Feature Instance - Mandy’s Marsh Attribute Type - salinity Attribute Type - salinity Attribute Instance - actual % water salinity Attribute Instance - actual % water salinity NAP Metadata: Implications –Good News

NAP: Essential Metadata  Requires reviewing the entire standard to determine what is minimal metadata for each user.  Metadata Record Information – 7 mandatory  Identification Information- 3 mandatory All optional with the number of mandatory attributes/subclasses: Data Quality 1 Data Quality 1 Maintenance Info 1 Maintenance Info 1 Descriptive Keywords 1 Descriptive Keywords 1 Resource Constraints 0 +1 Resource Constraints 0 +1 Aggregate Info 1 Aggregate Info 1 Spatial Representation Info Spatial Representation Info Reference System Info 1 Reference System Info 1 Content Info 2 or Content Info 2 or Distribution Info 2 +1 Distribution Info 2 +1
