Abstract

Creating and Managing Metadata for Geospatial Data
Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure
Authors: Kim Durante

The importance of metadata is increasingly recognized as a crucial component to the long term durability of geospatial data. This session will focus on how the application of geographic metadata standards can enhance the potential for interoperability, discovery, and reuse of geographic datasets. Techniques for auto-generating and updating metadata using scripts and batch transformation routines will also be demonstrated.
