;Service as own resource or as attribute value to data resource?: There is a dilemma about what constitutes a 'resource' the metadata points to: Is a geographic service, like WMS, a resource on its own? In this case a harvester must subsequently try to request it for more information based on the indicated protocol hopefully indicated by a type value. If the geographic data remains the single source of resource, every file format (like GeoRSS, GML, DXF, Shapefile) as well a service type, like a 'WMS layer' or a 'WFS feature set' needs to be mentioned in the metadata record.

Overview

These are experimental pages (1,2,3,4) originated from OSGeodata Mailing List on OSGeo.org.

Let's unleash geographic information through open access and dissemination of geographic data and (metadata) search appliances!

Allow to discover geodata! Let's make metadata 'sexy' again.

For the discovery of geodata we need a

For documentation an internal geodata management model is needed. For the metadata metadata exchange model a proposal was made called Dublin Core lite for Geo (DClite4G).

Remarks: Metadata is just data about data. There is nothing special regarding its modeling and encoding. Metadata according to metadata exchange model should be strictly free (LGPL?).

Pleadings for metadata (models) and adequate protocols

  • Managing metadata well is the key to making a repository of open geographic data really useful and re-usable. Creating metadata can be a dull chore. Part of the problem is over-focus on production, rather than consumption; on standards, rather than on usage. The Geodata Committee at OSGeo has been working on a "simplest useful thing" approach to geographic metadata.... (Citation from Jo Walsh)
  • Blog 1 - "Leight Weight Web Resource Catalogue"
  • Blog 2 - More Simple Web Services Catalogues...", and
  • Blog 3 - geospatial-catalog-development-brewing.
  • Bryan's Blog: "To extend or not to extend ..." ("In practice, we can exchange any derivative of the ISO19139 profiles using OAI and store them in xml databases.").
  • Paper "Are Geospatial Catalogues Reaching their Goals?" from Larson et al..

Building blocks for metadata management

Building blocks are:

  1. A geometadata management model (e.g. internal to each organisation)
  2. Tools to manage the geometadata
  3. A geometadata exchange model
  4. An encoding of the geometadata exchange model (probably XML)
  5. Geometadata exchange protocols (like OAI-PMH, see OSGeodata_Discovery)
