1 Creating Geospatial Metadata Kim Durante Geo4Lib Camp

2 Overview Metadata requirements for geospatial data Workflows for creating layer-level ISO metadata Auto-generating metadata using templates, XSL, Python, and data extraction Transforming and exporting metadata

3 Collection-level Metadata Workflow Identify data collection Layers Create metadata Assign rights policy register Repository

4 Check Data Properties Filenames Spatial Reference Objects Attributes

5 Layer-level Metadata Workflow Check data properties layer Items with no existing metadata Template XSLT Items with existing metadata localized Assign collection and rights policy register auto-generate deposit Submit for accessioning

13 Collection Template Title Abstract Update Frequency Status Global XG Mobile Communications Network Coverage, YYYY This polygon shapefile is a representation of the coverage area for XG mobile communications networks around the world in YYYY. The data is created from submissions made directly to Collins Bartholomew or the GSMA from mobile operators, which provide roaming detail for inclusion in the online mapping application known as Collins Mobile Coverage Web. Polygons representing the network coverage have been split into country areas using the country polygons from the Collins World Explorer vector product. Polygons are supplied as multipart, and include any country ISO or FIPS codes where known. The data is supplied with a nominal resolution of approximately 1km on the ground. Annually Completed

14 Collection Template Aggregate Dataset Title Collins Mobile Coverage Explorer, Aggregate Dataset Identifier Supplemental information Access Constraints (Legal) Use Constraints (Legal) Temporal Extent Description Purpose Operators are asked to submit strong (>= -92dBm) and variable (>= -100dBm and <92dBm) signal strengths as part of their submissions. The data here includes both types but does not make a distinction between the two. Restricted Restricted ground condition This map can be used to locate and analyze mobile communications coverage on a global scale.
