Metadata

Information describing spatial data sets and spatial data services and making it possible to discover, evaluation and use them

The Proposal of Serbian metadata profile for geodata

INSPIRE metadata implementing rulesISO 19115 – Geographic information — MetadataISO 19139 – Geographic information — Metadata - XML schema implementation

Metadata Editor

Metadata

There is nothing covered that shall not be reviled!

Metadata Editor

Main characteristics:

• Windows and Linux version (developed using QT and KDeveloper)

• MDI, work with many open files in the same time

• Localization, English and Serbian version (Russian version is ready)

• Help and context help

• Standard GUI (open, save, save as, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, find,...)

• Validation (input, output and on-demand validation)

• ISO 19139, INSPIRE compatible

Metadata Stylesheet

XSLT Stylesheet – complex xml-metadata file appears in a browser in a human

readable form (expanding/collapsing table). English and Serbian version. (Russian version

is just about to appear). Implemented in NSDI geoportal.

Metadata Stylesheet

Metadata Dictionary – complete technical documentation regarding spatial metadata

classes and elements (classes, elements, enumerations, definitions, data types,

conditions, multiplicity). English and Serbian version.

Goal of the project:

To establish sustainable system for production, updating and distribution of digital basic

state map, scale 1:5000 and 1:10000, through procurement of equipment, transfer of

technology and training

Project objectives

International projects [3]

� Satellite images and digital aerial photography acquisition

� Stereo plotting, production of 3D vector topographic layer

� Remote sensing (agri-environmental) workshop

� Raster workshop to maintain raster (TK25) by combining airborne or satellite

imagery with scanned paper maps

� Map editing workshop (generation of digital and hardcopy maps)

� Technical infrastructure to provide repository with INSPIRE compatible Web Portal

and Network Services for purpose of the project

International projects [4]

Norway: Statens kartverk (2011-2012)Geographic information for development and EU integration

Objectives:

� Well organised National Spatial Data Infrastructure

� The national Geoportal shall be operational in accordance with the INSPIRE

� RGA shall have the capacity and competence to maintain and develop of NSDI

Achieved by:

Through further developments of rules, agreements for co-operation between NSDI

stakeholders, technical standards and web services for data exchange

Ongoing activity

CooperationCurrently:

� There is not long-term policy for data sharing

Need:� To define model for cooperation

� To make good condition for share and use of geodata

Outcome:� Reduction of costs for producers and users of geodata

� Increased of data usage and effective services

Cooperation – Financial model

High prices Low prices

Resources for data

acquisition,

maintaining and

upgrade of geodata

and services

Benefits from

geodata and service

use

Geoinformation market – haw to achieve balance?

Cooperation – existing models

Haw to define model for financing and fees?

Data that are

collected for

public use with

public funding

should not be

paid again and

they are

therefore made

available for free

Agreements for

data exchange

between public

institutions. Data

are not free.

Model

encourages

exchange of data

at low cost.

Data exchange

according to

market price

Report and Medium term program

Upcoming activities

Technical framework

� More focus on coverage and quality of geoinformation on the geoportal

� Metadata collection for INSPIRE themes Annex I

� Better integration of NSDI into public authorities in order to provide

data sets for INSPIRE themes Annex I

� Increase of web service use

� Enhancement of functionality of the geoportal

� Cooperation on standardisation of geoinformation
