  1. Information Management using Ecological Metadata Language Corinna Gries - CAP Margaret O’Brien - SBC

  2. Goal To provide the ecological community with an extensible, flexible metadata standard for use in data analysis and for use in data analysis and archiving that will allow automated machine processing, searching and retrieval.

  3. Ecological Metadata Language - EML • Introduction • Purpose, Structure, Content • Management • Editors, Databases, Creation, Maintenance • Uses • Web Display, Data Access, Data Conversion, Data Integration

  4. Introduction • Dublin Core Metadata Initiative • Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) • Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) • Biological Profile of the CSDGM (from the NBII) • International Standards Organization • Geographic Information Standard (ISO 19115) • Date and Time Standard (ISO 8601), • OpenGIS Consortiums (GML) • Scientific, Technical, and Medical Markup Language (STMML) • Extensible Scientific Interchange Language (XSIL).

  5. Introduction http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML http://intranet.lternet.edu/archives/documents/Newsletters/DataBits/03spring/#6fa • XML-based storage and transfer of metadata • EML content standard focuses on metadata for identification, analysis, and integration • accommodates geospatial and non-geospatial data • strong data typing • strong access and revision control • distinction between logical format and physical format

  6. Introduction Resource • Dataset • Literature • Software • Protocol Party, Coverage, Keywords, Access, Physical, Project, Methods Structure

  8. Introduction • EML Best Practices http://cvs.lternet.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/emlbestpractices/ • Annotation Language (SEEK) http://seek.ecoinformatics.org/ Content

  9. Management • XML Spy • Oxygen • JEdit • Morpho (EML) (NCEAS) • MetaDoor (FGDC) (Carolina Ocean Observing and Prediction System) • Esri ARCGIS (Esri, FGDC) Editors

  10. Management • Morpho • RDBMS • Reverse Engineering • Excel Conversion • Scripts Creation

  11. Management • Metacat • RDBMS • Native XML • Open Source, e.g. eXist • Commercial, e.g. Tamino Databases

  12. ManagementMetacat Features • Contributors: NCEAS, Texas Tech, LTER, SDSC • Can hold any XML document • Client API available in Java and Perl • Tables stored in relational database (postgres, oracle, mysql) • Replication • XML queries converted to SQL http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/metacat/

  13. Management • Revision included in the packageId • Manual (Morpho) • Scripted Maintenance
