Assisted Generation and Publication of Geospatial Data and Metadata
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today, the existence of metadata is one of the most important keys for an effective discovery of geospatial data published in Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDI). However, due to lack of efficient mechanisms, integrated in user daily workflow, to assist users in generating metadata, little metadata is produced. This paper presents a mechanism for generating and publishing metadata with a Publication Service. This mechanism is provided as a web service implemented with a standard-base interface, the Web Processing Service (WPS) specification to improve its interoperability with other SDI components. This paper extends previous research when designing a Publication Service in the framework of the European Directive INSPIRE as a solution to assist users in publishing geospatial data and metadata automatically in order to improve, among others, SDI maintenance and usability.

Nowadays, the existence of metadata is one of the most important aspects of effective discovery of geospatial data published in Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs). However, due to lack of efficient mechanisms integrated in the data workflow, to assist users in metadata generation, a lot of low quality and outdated metadata are stored in the catalogues. This paper presents a mechanism for gener...
متن کاملAutomating geospatial metadata generation - An integrated data management and documentation approach
Geospatial metadata have long played an important role in the management of geospatial datasets. Often employed by institutions to organise, maintain and document their geographic resources internally, metadata may also provide a vehicle for exposing marketable data assets externally when contributed to on-line geospatial exchange initiatives. In spite of the numerous benefits it affords, obsta...

متن کاملAutomatic geospatial metadata generation for earth science virtual data products
Recent advances in Semantic Web and Web Service technologies has shown promise for automatically deriving geospatial information and knowledge from Earth science data distributed over the Web. In a service-oriented environment, the data, information, and knowledge are often consumed or produced by complex, distributed geoscientific workflows or service chains. In order for the chaining results ...
