Overview
These are experimental pages originated from OSGeodata Mailing List on OSGeo.org.
Let's finally unleash geographic information through open access and dissemination of geographic data and (metadata) search appliances!
- 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)
Therefore we really need a information model as well as a protocol for metadata exchange. See OSGeodataDiscovery for more information on this. And let's reduce it to the max.
