18. Comprehensive dataset metadata profile Basic profile applicable to a broad range of information communities Defines complete range of metadata required to identify, evaluate, extract, employ and manage geographic datasets Defines a comprehensive metadata application schema (UML model) which provides an implementable profile Provides a XML DTD based on the application schema

19. Comprehensive metadata application schema

20. Comprehensive profile XML Encoding XML DTD XML Document 2 XML DTD XML Document XML Document 1 The Document Type Definition (DTD) defines the tags, constraints, attributes, structure, domains etc The XML document defines the content (the dataset metadata) The DTD can be located: –within the document –within the same folder/computer/server C:\My Documents\My Metadata.dtd –within the Internet http://www.opengis.net/geographicMetadata.dtd

21. Comprehensive Profile Application ISO-Comprehensive Geographic Metadata.dtd DCW.xml Recommended Core Metadata Schiphol Environmental Impact data.xml Full comprehensive metadata comprised of over 300 metadata elements NATO Specific.dtd VMap 1-NL.xml NATO cataloging profile which includes ISO recommended core plus additional selected metadata elements. The NATO DTD defines NATO specific metadata and code lists North Sea Soundings.xml only 12 mandatory metadata elements

22. Proposed Implementations US FGDC –Edition 3 will be a profile of ISO 19115 ANZLIC –developing ISO compliant ANZLIC profile Saudi Arabia –Ar-Riyadh Development Authority developed draft profile of ISO19115.2 NATO –STANAG 7148 Catalog Metadata for Geographic Information (under development)

23. Summary ISO 19115 development –based on a solid foundation of national, regional, and information community standards –has broad global participation –has gone through formal development cycles ISO 19115 Standard –based on a harmonized object model –designed to fill a broad range of requirements –extensive use of codelists -language interoperability –recommended core with a full comprehensive profile Metadata that is absolutely essential for all aspects of spatial data handling –Locate –Evaluate –Extract –Employ Metadata in a global standard –Allows expanded networks –Provides a common understanding –Global Interoperability Metadata: the foundation for a Global Spatial Data Infrastructure

24. Impact to CINTEX/CIP Formal review of next version Discuss creation of a CIP/CEOS Profile Do we need a CIP 3 or a CIP 2.5 Alignment of Code lists and Keywords
