What is the NAPWhat is the NAP Community profile of ISO

19115 Geospatial Information – Metadata

Addresses metadata for geographic products.

Negotiated content between the ANSI and CGSB representatives.

Format: Profile with “best practices” and simplified diagrams for training, UML in annex

Net Benefits of MetadataNet Benefits of Metadata For data distributors: Metadata makes data

sharing: easier, less risky, and cheaper

For all enterprises: Metadata reduces the cost of losing information about spatial data assets, thereby

increasing the usability of those assets over time. Sustaining and value of the assets

Interoperability IssuesInteroperability Issues(Service Metadata)(Service Metadata)

Portals, using Internet, Intranet, and Extranet displays and/or integrates data

normally intended for use with specific, disparate applications without those applications

uses data from multiple sources without clearly defining quality or source of individual features

Interoperability IssuesInteroperability Issues

Web Services Discovery of Services (including data

services) by computers rather than by people

Simultaneous incorporation of live data from many sources (eg Web Map Services) originally created or stored in different formats, models, or quality

Content CSDGM similar and new elements Domains and conditionality Essential, as opposed to core, metadata
