Experience from european projects

3. Metadata what is it? Metadata is data about dataand is a vital component of spatial data. 4. Metadata what is it?

Metadata shall also include information on the following :

• the conformity of spatial data sets with the implementing rules

• conditions applying to access to, and use of, spatial data

sets and services and, where applicable, corresponding fees

• the validity of spatial data sets

• the public authorities responsible for the establishment,

• management, maintenance and distribution of spatial datasets

• and services

• limitations on public access and the reasons for suchlimitations

5. SDI& Metadata

Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is an enabling platform that facilities access to spatial data and sharing spatial resources and tools among different practitioners

Metadata play a key role in any spatial data infrastructure initiative

It provides users of spatial data with information about the purpose, quality, actuality and accuracy and many more of spatial datasets.

6. INSPIRE&Metadata

TheINSPIRE Metadata Regulation is mandatory for all spatial data themes of the INSPIRE Directive Annexes.

The INSPIRE documentTechnical Guidelines based on EN ISO 19115 and EN ISO 19119 (Revised edition) provides technical guidelines for the implementation of the INSPIRE Metadata Regulation

The document compares the core requirements of ISO 19115 against those of INSPIRE

• the conformance to ISO 19115 does not guarantee the conformance to INSPIRE .

7. INSPIRE&Metadata

Member States shall ensure that metadata are created for the spatial data sets and services corresponding to the themes listed in Annexes I, II and III, and that those metadata are keptup to date.

8. INSPIRE&Metadata

Member States shall create the metadata referred to in accordance with the following timetable:

• not later than two years after the date of adoption of implementing rules in the case of the spatial data sets corresponding to the themes listed in Annexes I and II;

• not later than five years after the date of adoption of implementing rules in the case of the spatial data sets corresponding to thethemeslisted in Annex III.

The main goal of the Plan4all project is the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive into spatial planning processes.

Metadata profile is one of the important Plan4all outputs.

On the metadata level the project will focus on metadata profiles for the following spatial data themes:

• Land Cover

• Land Use

• Utility and Government Services

• Production and Industrial Facilities

• Agricultural and Aquaculture Facilities

• Area Management/Restriction/Regulation Zones and Reporting Units

• Natural Risk Zones.

15. Experience from PLAN4ALL

As far as metadata are concerned, Plan4all will work on two levels:

• on the one hand INSPIRE requirements claim for the definition of metadata elements on dataset level, for each spatial data theme, in addition to the mandatory metadata elements set of the INSPIRE Metadata Regulation

• on the other hand a main objective of the project is the definition of an overall spatial planning metadata profile derived from the metadata profiles on dataset level.
