THE METAPRESENTATION: A STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT GEOSPATIAL METADATA PROFILE Sarah Wray, GISP Geospatial Data Manager, NCDOT Lynda Wayne, GISP Principal, GeoMaxim LLC Data, data, everywhere And all the drives did shrink Data, data, everywhere But none of it in sync DATA METADATA ---------- SHARE FOSS4G North America May 2016 GeoMaxim
A GOOD METADATA RECORD IS HARD TO FIND (and make) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REQUIRES Time and effort Learning new standards and tools Re$ources Accountability As a result: many organizations produce minimal, if any, metadata The Problem 2
Expand the practical application of geospatial metadata in local government Improve the quality of metadata for authoritative datasets Improve the efficiency, consistency, and discoverability of available data resources Develop and share tools and methods in the practice of creating and maintaining geospatial metadata The Goals 3
Local & Provincial Government University Private Sector Team Metadata State Government Federal Government Objective Carve down the standard into essential elements that support: standards compliance data discovery data reuse open source and customization ------------------------------- Issues which standard to use? how much information/education to include to support implementation? how to format a profile? how to remain software independent? The Objectives and Issues 4
ISO Required ISO Essential CSDGM Required Process: 1. Include all ISO & CSDGM mandatory elements 2. Add ISO elements essential to meet operational requirements 3. Create thematic profiles by adding theme-specific ISO elements ISO Theme(s) Essential ---------------------------------------------------- The Approach 5
Document Official publication: the living document used to update and maintain the Profile Format of the Profile Table HTML XML Technical specification: elements, definitions, formats, domains, and best practices Example records and templates: used for reference or uploaded into metadata editor Website Project website: background, contacts, official publication, links to resources, community response ---------------------------------------------------- The Profile 6

WHAT CAN YOU DO? You can help improve and implement the profile ----------------------------------------- spread the word about the profile apply the profile to your own metadata build & share example XML & templates for new data themes develop implementation guides for your metadata editor reference the profile as one of your MD_Metadata>metadataStandardName Your Role 18
