Description
This book represents years of work by the ICA Spatial Data Standards Commission during the 1995-2003 ICA cycles.
It consists of an
Introduction and six Regional Summary chapters that describe the spatial metadata activities happening in Europe, North America, Asia/Pacific,
Latin America, Africa/Middle East, and the ISO community. These chapters provide the broader context and description of the milieu in
which these standards operate, so that the reader can more easily understand the scientific and technical framework from whence a particular
standard has emerged. The third section is a complete listing of all of the three levels of scientific and technical characteristics,
and their meaning by the inclusion of a set of definitions for metadata terms used in the book. The fourth section, and by far the largest,
contains 22 chapters that assess each of the major national and international spatial metadata standards in the world, and also contains
a few representative subject matter profile derived from a major standard. They have been carried out in terms of all three levels of
characteristics. Each assessment has been carried out by a Commission member who has been an active participant in the development of
the standard being assessed in the native language of that standard. The fifth section contains a summary cross-table wall size summary
chart that includes all 22 standards and profiles that are cross tabulated by 70 of the crucial characteristics. The columns provide
a thumbnail sketch of each individual standard, while the rows facilitate a quick comparison of individual critical characteristics across
all of the 22 standards and profiles. Many readers of our previous book have begun their standards evaluation process with this cross-table.
This current book on spatial metadata standards has been purposely designed to serve as a companion working volume to the 1997 book
the Commission published on Spatial Data Transfer Standards, Moellering & Hogan, Editors, ISBN 008042433.
Audience
For all those interested spatial data standards including analytical cartography, geographic information science, geographic information
systems, photogrammetry, remote sensing, surveying, geodesy, vehicle navigation systems, geology, biology, satellite imagery, demography
and related subject matter sciences.
