5. ISO Metadata Is flexible Depicts relationships between datasets and collection level (parent/child relationships) Standardizes descriptors through the use of codelists Accommodates new technologies (such as documenting services) Accommodates International scope Undergoes revision/review in 5 year cycles

6. ISO Content Who collected the data? processed the data? wrote the metadata? to contact for questions? to contact to order? owns the data?

7. Organization and Content of ISO ISO is organized in Sections and Packages Section: Groupings of similar information Package: Logical groupings of elements found in multiple locations within Sections

8. Main Sections of ISO 19115 Metadata Metadata Information (MD_Metadata) Root element that contains information about the metadata itself. Root contains main sections. Spatial Representation Information (gmd:spatialRepresentationInfo) geospatial representation of a resource Reference System Information (gmd:referenceSystemInfo) spatial and temporal reference systems used in the resource Metadata Extension Information (gmd:metadataExtensionInfo) user specified extensions to the metadata standard used to describe the resource Identification Information (gmd:identificationInfo) uniquely identify a resource or resources Content Information (gmd:contentInfo) physical parameters and other attributes contained in a resource Distribution Information (gmd:distributionInfo) who makes a resource available and how to get it Data Quality Information (gmd:dataQualityInfo) quality and lineage (including processing steps and sources) of a resource Portrayal Catalogue Information (gmd:portrayalCatalogueInfo) collection of defined symbols used to depict, to humans, features on a map Metadata Constraint Information (gmd:metadataConstraints) constraints on the use of the metadata and the resource it describes Application Schema Information (gmd:applicationSchemaInfo) application schema used to build a dataset Metadata Maintenance Information (gmd:metadataMaintenance) maintenance of the metadata and the resource it describes

9. Main Sections of ISO 19115-2 Metadata Metadata Information (MI_Metadata) Root element that contains information about the metadata itself. Root contains main sections. Spatial Representation Information (gmd:spatailRepresentationInfo) geospatial representation of a resource Reference System Information (gmd:referenceSystemInfo) spatial and temporal reference systems used in the resource Metadata Extension Information (gmd:metadataExtensionInfo) user specified extensions to the metadata standard used to describe the resource Identification Information (gmd:identificationInfo) uniquely identify a resource or resources Content Information (gmd:contentInfo) physical parameters and other attributes contained in a resource Distribution Information (gmd:distributionInfo) who makes a resource available and how to get it Data Quality Information (gmd:dataQualityInfo) quality and lineage (including processing steps and sources) of a resource Portrayal Catalogue Information (gmd:portrayalCatalogueInfo) portrayal catalogues used for the resource Metadata Constraint Information (gmd:metadataConstraints) constraints on the use of the metadata and the resource it describes Application Schema Information (gmd:applicationSchemaInfo) application schema used to build a dataset Metadata Maintenance Information (gmd:metadataMaintenance) maintenance of the metadata and the resource it describes Acquisition Information (gmi:acquisitionInformation) instruments, platforms, operations and other info of data acquisition (only MI_Metadata)
