FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata: Extensions for Remote Sensing Metadata
Topics covered • How the standard was produced • Public outreach • What the standard contains
Motivation • Compared FGDC metadata standard with ECS core metadata (release 2.0, 1994) • Identified several categories of ECS metadata not clearly supported in FGDC standard
Beginnings • Proposal submitted January 1999, approved April • SWG designated Imagery Subgroup for development • Project development team • All members of Imagery Subgroup invited • Additional members added
Development Cycle • Initial draft by NASA/NASA-support members of team • Three Project Development Team (PDT) review cycles: • Distributed for review • Discuss review at meeting • Revised on basis of review • Meeting with ISPRS and NIMA people on varieties ofsensors • Revisions after meeting sent to team for approval
Development Team(not all members every cycle) • NASA • NASA Support - RITSS/GMU, SGT/GST, CSC • USGS • NIMA • Lockheed Martin • U. California (Santa Barbara) • ISPRS - intend to use as base for ISO standard • Material from U. Alabama (Huntsville)
External Awareness of the Standard • Presented or briefed at professional conferences and meetings: • Digital Earth Symposium– 12/1999 • CEOS Working Group on Information System and Services (CEOS-WGISS) Meetings – 4/2000, 9/2000. • ISPRS Congress 7/2000. • OGC Technical Committee Meetings. • ISO Imagery (19121,4) and Metadata (19115) projects • Copies of draft sent to CEOS-WGISS, ISPRS WG II/4, DGIWG, ISO Imagery project, and experts from China, Japan, and European countries.
Extended elements • Identification Information • Dataset identifier,aggregations, names, references • Data Quality Information: Algorithm and Processing • Spatial Data Organization Information • Additional raster description elements • Spatial Reference Information: Georeferencing • Entity and Attribute Information: Scaling
New elements • Platform and Mission Information • Identify potential coverage • Instrument Information • Sweep scan • Frame Camera • Other (extensible)
Final Review • After final Project Development Team meeting and revision, sent to Imagery Subgroup • Responded to Imagery Subgroup comments • Revised standard sent out with query for objections • Approved by SWG February 21, 2001
External Review Plan • Once FGDC approves release for public review, in addition to regular FGDC channels, draft will be submitted for comment to the following groups: • CEOS WGISS • ISPRS WG II/4 • ISO Imagery components, Model Harmonization Team • ASPRS • OGC Metadata, Image Coordinate Transform groups • Presentation or briefing at professional meetings. • CEOS WGISS (May 2001) • Digital Earth (June 2001)
