1. North American Profile Briefing FGDC Coordination Group May 1, 2007 Sharon Shin, FGDC Metadata Coordinator

2. US National Profile of ISO 19115 Goal. Meet the geospatial metadata implementation needs of the US through the development of a Profile guidance document. Objectives. Comprehensive profile. Identical content with Canadian Profile. Release by ANSI same date and time as CSB. Results in North American Profile: NAP

3. ISO 19115 / NAP Enables describing: Geospatial data sets. Non-geospatial resources. Services: portals, web mapping services, …

4. Standard Broad/complex Generic Optional Undefined domains A standard tailored for a “Community” Profile-A standard tailored for a “Community” Profile Narrow focus/often simpler Specific Mandatory Explicit Domains – codelists Easier implementation

6. North American Profile: Approach No new attributes. Increase obligations. Modify codelists…deprecate Create new codelists for free text fields. Recommend structure with in text fields e.g. address. Modify/simplify diagrams. Adding best practices to guide implementation.

7. ISO 19115 / NAP and other ISO Standards Language Codes Profiles Spatial Referencing by coordinates Metadata Metadata, Technical corrigendum 1 Encoding Services Geodetic codes and parameters Procedures for item registration GML XML OGC’s Web Services Common Specification The NAP editing team is including content from the referenced standards to enable users to implement the NAP without procuring the referenced standards.
