Course objectives
Any student should be able to explain the following issues at the end of this course:
understand and explain the concept of metadata in geoinformatics;
create metadata according in the Dublin Core, ISO and ATOM structure;
query a catalogue server compliant to the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Catalogue Service for Web (CSW) specification;
explain the importance of metadata for an infrastructure of spatial data (information).
understand and apply the principles of the Semantic Web.
Learning outcomes
Outputs from the learning process comprise competences of critical evaluation of standardization framework(s) for metainformation in a domain as well as knowledge, development and presentation of metainformation content in the UML and XML languages (RDF included).
