2. METADATA AS THE FOUNDING STONE
FOR LINKING BETWEEN ESDI
COMPONENTS
Laboratory on Geoinformatics and Cartography
• The main principles presented during the previous
lecture
• Metadata to:
– identify a product
– promote a product
– describe a product
• “Product” is a commercial term
while we use the term “resource”
in geographic sciences
The concept of ESDI metadata

Hierarchy levels of metadata in ESDI
dataset sensor

Laboratory on Geoinformatics and Cartography
• Only three legally-binding hierarchy levels
– dataset
– series
– service
• Subset of ISO 19115 (Geographic information –
Metadata) and ISO 19119 (Geography information –
Services) standards
