1. Handshake across the border… The North American Profile Sharon Shin Federal Geographic Data Committee

2. NAP Editing Committee Canada Natural Resources Canada Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources CGSB-CoG –Members USA Federal Geographic Data Committee –FGDC Metadata Working Group INCITS-L1 –Members

3. NAP Editing Committee Meetings

4. North American Profile - 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

5. ISO 19115 Enables describing: –Geospatial data sets. –Maps. –Non-geospatial resources. –Services: portals, web mapping services.

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 and other ISO Standards Language Codes County Codes Conceptual Schema Language Profiles Spatial Schema Temporal Schema Rules for Application Schema Methodology for Feature Cataloging Spatial Referencing by Coordinates Quality Principles Quality Evaluation Procedures Metadata, Technical Corrigendum 1 Encoding Services Geographic Information Services Geodetic codes and Parameters Location Based Services- Tracking and Navigation GML XML OGC’s Web Services Common Specification

8. What is different/same between FGDC CSDGM and the NAP?

9. Organization and Terminology FGDC – Sections – Elements – Compound Elements – Domains ISO / NAP – Classes – Subclasses – Attributes – Domains

10. Obligation Terminology: FGDC to ISO FGDC: – Mandatory – Mandatory-if- applicable – Optional ISO/NAP: – Mandatory – Conditional – Optional

11. FGDC CSDGM Graphic Representation

12. ISO UML Diagrams Decisions?: Stylize Simplify Colorize

13. NAP Diagrams- current model

14. Major NAP Classes Metadata Entity Set Information Identification Information –Dataset Identification –Service Identification Constraints Data Quality Information Maintenance Information Spatial Representation Information Reference System Information Content Information Portrayal Catalogue Information Distribution Information Application Schema Information

15. Metadata Entity Set Information File Identifier (M) Language (M) Character set (M) Parent Identifier Hierarchy Level (M) Contact (M) Date Stamp (M) Metadata Standard Name (M) Metadata Standard Version Data Set URI Locale (C)

16. Data Quality Attribute Consistency Logistical Consistency Completeness Report Positional Accuracy Lineage Scope (M) Report (C) –Completeness –Logical Consistency –Positional Consistency –Thematic Accuracy –Temporal Accuracy Lineage (C) –Source –Process Step CSDGMNAP

17. Maintenance Information Maintenance and Update Frequency (M) – code list Date of Next Update User Defined Maintenance Frequency Updated Scope Update Scope Description Maintenance Note Contact – responsible party

18. Service Identification Attributes (5 Mandatory) Resource Maintenance Information Graphic Overview Descriptive Keywords Resource Specific Usage Resource Constraints Aggregation Information Operates On Contain Operation (M)

19. Application Schema Name (M) Schema language (M) Constraint language (M) Schema ASCII Graphics file Software development file Software development file format

20. Portrayal Catalogue Information to reproduce a map: –Line weight –Color –Font –Etc.

21. Metadata Entity Set Information 7 mandatory attributes Identification InformationM (M6/) –Data IdentificationC (M6/) –Service IdentificationC (M5/M1) ConstraintsO () Data Quality InformationO(M1/) MD MaintenanceO (M1/) Spatial RepresentationO () Reference System InformationC (M1/M1) Content InformationO (C2/) Portrayal CatalogO (M0 / M1) Distribution InformationO () Application SchemaO(M3/) Class Name – Obligation (Mandatory attributes / Mandatory subclasses)

22. Best Practice Create metadata as the project progresses –Information is at hand –Brain drain is at a minimum –Create Template –Internal use –Contracted Data Create Template –Internal use –Contracted Data

23. Best Practice 2 Metadata as a corporate resource. –Data on hand Data assessment Data update –Scheduling –Estimating staffing –Estimating time –Data to be procured

24. NAP Editing Committee: Next Steps Review of Comments Fall 2007. Review of adjudication of comments. Final edit prior to submission to standards bodies. US: Submission to American National Standards Institute: Fall 2007. ANSI review, vote, Adoption….?. FGDC Standards Working Group…

25. FGDC Metadata Working Group: Next Steps Develop NAP training materials content outline for WG members review. Develop NAP modules for download. –Intro to ISO 19115 –Intro to NAP –NAP Content

26. FGDC to ISO Conversion Tool Release – Fall 2007 XML- conversion format. Conversion tool format: XSLT. Standalone. Plan to include source code. Conversion tool to be delivered via shareware site. Announced through FGDC.gov and FGDC Metadata Working Group.

27. What to do for now Monitor fgdc.gov for Public Review announcement. –Announcement made directly to FGDC Metadata WG. Join/monitor FGDC Metadata Working Group/website NAP Training: Monitor http://www.fgdc.gov/training/nsdi-training-program/online- lessons Until ANSI adoption and FGDC recognition /adoption of NAP –Continue use of FGDC CSDGM –Post metadata to clearinghouses –Register clearinghouses to geodata.gov (Geospatial One-Stop).
