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!
For the discovery of geodata we need a
- Geographic metadata exchange model as well as a
- Geographic metadata exchange protocol (catalog service).
For documentation an internal geodata management model is needed.
Remarks: Metadata is just data about data, so nothing is special regarding its modeling and encoding. Metadata according to metadata exchange model should be strictly free (LGPL?).
Pleadings
- 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 2 - More Simple Web Services Catalogues...", and

Building blocks for geometadata management
Building blocks are:
- A geometadata management model (e.g. internal to each organisation)
- Tools to manage the geometadata
- A geometadata exchange model
- An encoding of the geometadata exchange model (probably XML)
- Geometadata exchange protocols (like OAI-PMH, see OSGeodata_Discovery)
