Training Structure • Agenda • Introduction to the NAP and ISO19115/19139 • Relationship to the FGDC CSDGM • NAP/ISO Structure • NAP/ISO Core Elements • What’s next with the NAP • Available NAP metadata editors • NAP resources • Materials • FGDC-ISO Crosswalk • More Details on introducing the NAP are available at: • http://www.fgdc.gov/training/nsdi-training-program/online-lessons#metadata Looking Ahead
Learning Objectives • After completing this module the student can: • Describe what the North American Profile (NAP) of the ISO 19115/19139 standard is • Describe how the NAP is related to the FGDC CSDGM • Describe the basic structure of ISO19115/19139 and how this is similar to and different from the FGDC CSDGM • Name at least three core elements of ISO 19115/19139 • Identify key resources that will be available for use as the NAP is rolled out
ISO 19115 Geospatial Metadata • Introduction to the North American Profile (NAP) of ISO 19115/19139 • What is the NAP? • A ‘community profile’ of the ISO 19115/19139 standard • ‘Next generation’ geospatial metadata standard for Canada and US • What is the ISO 19115/19139 standard? • International standard for geospatial metadata • Part of ISO19000 series • ISO 19110: Geographic Information - Feature Cataloging • ISO 19115: Geographic Information - Metadata. • ISO 19136: Geographic Information - Geographic Markup Language • ISO 19139: Geographic Information – Metadata XML Schema Implementation • It is implemented by ‘profiling’; hence the development of the ‘NAP’ USA FGDC CSDGM CAN/CGSB 171.3-95 North American Profile Geospatial Metadata Based on ISO 19115/19139
ISO 19115 Geospatial Metadata • What does the NAP do? • Adopts the 22 ISO ‘core’ metadata for geographic datasets (core does not mean required) • Increases conditionality for critical attributes • Modifies code lists to reflect US/CA needs • Creates new code lists for free text elements that are relatively standard in the US and Canada • Will include best practices and simplified UML diagrams • Why is it being developed? • The international community developed and approved ISO 19115 • As a member of ISO, US must revise the CSDGM in accord with ISO 19115 • Provides interoperability between US and international community • Increases capabilities/flexibility for current needs Metadata Community Profile COREISOELEMENTS Community-specified Extended Elements ISO 19115
ISO 19115 Geospatial Metadata • How is it related to the FGDC CSDGM? • The standard is similar, but different • Structure • FGDC CSDGM: sections, elements, and domains • ISO19115: classes, subclasses, attributes, and domains • Both require only the identification information and metadata information sections • Requirements • ISO 19115 contains more fixed domains and code lists and fewer mandatory elements • 22 core ISO elements; 7 mandatory ISO elements • New terminology: Mandatory, Conditional, Optional • Elements • Some added, some eliminated from FGDC CSDGM (see crosswalk: ISO-FGDC-METADATA-CROSSWALK-V41.xls [please see USGS website for most recent version]) • Applicability • ISO 19115 can be applied to a greater range of products, including non-geospatial products
NAP/ISO 19115 Structure ISO 19115 • classes • subclasses • attributes • domains • requirements • mandatory • conditional • optional • CSDGM • sections • compound elements • elements • domains • requirements • mandatory • mandatory if applicable • optional
ISO Metadata: Core Elements **mandatory
Available ISO Metadata Editors Detailed information about each of these tools is available at: http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/mwg/isoreview/
ISO 19115 Geospatial Metadata • What is planned for the NAP? • Current status: final review • Targeted completion in early 2009 • http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/geospatial-metadata-standards#prepareforiso • Maybe called FGDC CSDGM version 3 • Resources planned for roll-out: • translators • crosswalks • training • editors
ISO 19115 Geospatial Metadata • Some key resources to make learning the NAP easier • FGDC Website • http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/geospatial-metadata-standards#isometadata • http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/incits-l1-standards-projects/NAP-Metadata/NAP_Metadata/ • http://www.fgdc.gov/participation/working-groups-subcommittees/mwg/isoreview/ • http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/geospatial-metadata-standards#prepareforiso (crosswalk) • Presentation from 2008 ESRI Federal User Conference • http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/feduc08/index.html • ESRI Metadata Translator • http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/index.cfm?TopicName=ESRI_Metadata_Translator_%28Conversion%29
ISO 19115 Geospatial Metadata • NAP Quiz • Which statement below is FALSE regarding the NAP and the FGDC CSDGM? • The NAP is made up of classes whereas the FGDC CSDGM is made up of sections • The NAP uses the term ‘conditional’ whereas the FGDC CSDGM uses the term ‘mandatory if applicable’ • The NAP does not have an identification information section • The NAP adopts the 22 ISO ‘core’ metadata for geographic datasets • What is currently planned for roll-out of the NAP in order to assist users in making the transition? • Translators • Crosswalks • Training • Editors • All of the above
