USGIN_ISO_Metadata_1.1.2.pdf

Public release of the USGIN ISO 19139 (ISO 19115 and ISO 19119) profile document for spatial dataset, dataset series, and service metadata.

This document is a profile for using ISO19139 xml schema for of ISO 19115 and ISO 19119 metadata. The profile provides guidance for the population of ISO19139 dataset and dataset series documents to enable interoperability of catalog service clients with multiple servers conforming to this profile.

USGIN Catalog and Data Services website released

Submitted by wgrunberg on Thu, 04/15/2010 - 2:40pm

The USGIN Catalog and Data Services website (http://catalog.usgin.org) hosts several geospatial metadata catalog (CSW) and geospatial data services (WMS, WFS, WCS) implementations and clients. Although the site functions as a showcase of USGIN service implementations, the Catalog Service for the Web service (CSW - http://catalog.usgin.org/geonetwork/srv/en/csw) is a primary metadata node for the U.S. Geospatial Information Network.

Available services and clients at this time:

USGIN Document Repository released

Submitted by wgrunberg on Thu, 04/15/2010 - 11:23am

The USGIN Document Repository is an effort to create a document archiving, management, and discovery system that fulfills minimum USGIN ISO 19139 metadata requirements. The Drupal CMS based site is under active development and has the following goals and requirements:

  • Upload files that have not been put on the web yet and generate metadata for them
  • Add links to resources that are already on the web and generate metadata for them
  • Automatically generate ISO 19139 dataset metadata XML records
  • Offer an as easy-as-possible way to enter minimum ISO 19139 metadata
  • Use Search Engine Optimization to expose content to the web
  • Offer some nice way to search the repository
  • Offer a minimal but intuitive workflow for repository management
  • Find an easy way of submitting spatial extent coordinates
  • Remain flexible to adapt to new and changing metadata input and presentation needs

The use of controlled vocabularies.pdf

Discussion of use of terms from controlled concept vocabularies in xml documents. Applies to ISO19139 codelists, Keywords, and GeoSciML scopedName/Controlled concepts. Recommends a 'ScopedLocalizedTerm' xml element that includes attributes for the concept URI, simple xlink attributes that provide URL for a useful representation, xml:lang for language localization, and a VocabularID URI that identifies the containing controlled vocabulary.

OGC Schema Issues in Relation to CSW

In order to create metadata for both static datasets and dynamic, online services and for use with CSW, the OGC created an xml schema that merges the schema for ISO19115 (dataset metadata) and ISO19119 (service metadata) (see secion D.1.5, page 105 in OGC 07-045). The way that was accomplished was by creating a schema located at http://schemas.opengis.net/csw/2.0.2/profiles/apiso/1.0.0/apiso.xsd. The contents of that schema are quite simple -- it looks like this:

USGIN ISO 19139 Profile

Summary:

USGIN profile for using ISO19139 xml schema for ISO 19115 and ISO 19119 spatial metadata. ISO 19115 is a metadata standard for spatial dataset and spatial dataset series. ISO 19119 is a metadata standard for spatial services. The USGIN profile for ISO 19139 is based on the North American Profile (NAP).

Introduction:

A key component of a distributed information network is a catalog system, a collection of resources that allow data and service providers to register resources, and data consumers to locate and use those resources. Currently, many online catalogs are web pages with collections of URLs for services, or services are discovered accidently or by word of mouth. The vision is to enable a web client (portal) to search across one or more metadata registries without having to configure the client individually for each of the registries that will be searched. Thus, metadata providers can focus on data development, without having to also develop web clients to enable search of that metadata.
