1. A look to the past for the future- The North American Profile Sharon Shin Metadata Coordinator Federal Geographic Data Committee

2. The Past - FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata  Information Exchange Forum on Spatial Metadata- June 16-18, 1992.  Executive Order 12906, 1994 EO 13286, 2003 EO 13286, 2003  Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata Version 1 1995, Version 2 1998

3. The Future: Regional, national, & organizational profiles ANZLIC Profile North American Profile EO Profile European Profile Perfil Latinoamericano de Metadata NATO Profile ISO19115:2003 Geographic Information - Metadata State Profile Navigation Profile

4. North American Profile of ISO 19115 Metadata North American Profile of ISO 19115 Metadata Co-located Meetings Parallel Development MOU between Canada and the USA

5. What is the NAP  Community profile of ISO 19115 Geospatial Information – Metadata  Addresses metadata for geographic products.  Negotiated content between the ANSI and CGSB representatives.  Format: Profile with “best practices” and simplified diagrams for training, UML in annex

6. Multi-level metadata Data Series - wetlands Data Series - wetlands Dataset - Paducah wetlands Dataset - Paducah wetlands Feature Type - marsh Feature Type - marsh Feature Instance - Mandy’s Marsh Feature Instance - Mandy’s Marsh Attribute Type - salinity Attribute Type - salinity Attribute Instance - actual % water salinity Attribute Instance - actual % water salinity NAP Metadata: Implications –Good News

ISO Metadata: Core Elements Dataset title Spatial representation type Dataset reference date Reference system Dataset responsible party Lineage statement Geographic location On-line resource Dataset language Metadata file identifier Dataset character set Metadata standard name Dataset topic category Metadata standard version Spatial resolution Metadata language Abstract Metadata character set Distribution format Metadata point of contact Additional extent info (vert / temp) Metadata date stamp mandatory

8. NAP: Essential Metadata  Requires reviewing the entire standard to determine what is minimal metadata for each user.  Metadata Record Information – 7 mandatory  Identification Information- 3 mandatory All optional with the number of mandatory attributes/subclasses: Data Quality 1 Data Quality 1 Maintenance Info 1 Maintenance Info 1 Descriptive Keywords 1 Descriptive Keywords 1 Resource Constraints 0 +1 Resource Constraints 0 +1 Aggregate Info 1 Aggregate Info 1 Spatial Representation Info Spatial Representation Info 4 + 7 4 + 7 Reference System Info 1 Reference System Info 1 Content Info 2 or 3 + 2 Content Info 2 or 3 + 2 Distribution Info 2 +1 Distribution Info 2 +1

9. 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) CSDGM NAP
