ArcView Metadata Collector

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:38:35 -0800

For those still working in ArcView 3.x ... ArcView Metadata Collector is an easy-to-use application that helps the ArcView 3.x user create Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)–compliant metadata. The tool can create metadata for any data type supported by ArcView, including ARC/INFO coverages, ArcView shapefiles, as well as any supported image formats. This award winning tool is free.

Recommended by D. Wright and the Oregon Coastal Atlas team, particularly when dealing with FGDC metadata.

This is an AML tool developed by Illinois Natural Resources that extracts metadata from an ArcInfo file. It produces a template document with metadata elements and formatting suitable for verification with MP. Additional metadata information not included in the ArcInfo file will need to be added manually or with a formal metadata editor.

Project Introduction

Provides a collection of open-source tools for managing geospatial data. It provides powerful metadata editing and search functions as well as an embedded interactive web map viewer.

Isite Metadata Server

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:38:43 -0800

Isite software creates a server process on a networked server that can respond to queries against full-text, spatial terms, temporal terms, and text fields within metadata documents. It relies on Z39.50 protocol. If you are interested in setting up a Clearinghouse server, you can download the Isite software, which is available from the FGDC in compiled binary form for both Windows and various Linux / Unix platforms.It relies on Z39.50 protocol.

NcML: NetCDF XML

ngalbraith — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 05:57:00 -0800

From the website:

NcML is an XML representation of netCDF metadata. It is similar to the netCDF CDL (network Common data form Description Language), except that it uses XML syntax. An NcML file essentially contains the same header information one gets from a netCDF file with the "ncdump -h" command.

Pine's SensorML Editor

carynn — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 15:29:47 -0700

From the User Manual

SensorML Editor is a program to assist SensorML researchers to explore and modify SensorML models. It provides the functions to navigate a SensorML model in tree structure, create new model, add\delete\modify existing model and export model in XML format.

SIO/GDC Vocabulary Terms

graybeal — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 12:14:00 -0800

Controlled Vocabulary utilized in SIOExplorer, from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Geological Data Center (SIO/GDC). Includes listing of terms for various parameters in the GDC scheme.

Spatial Metadata Management System (SMMS)

deepseadawn — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:16:00 -0700

SMMS is the Spatial Metadata Management System. SMMS provides users the power of creating, editing, and querying the metadata which describes spatial data, with the added advantage of being able to manage common metadata content via a relational database. It also allows a map of the spatial data to be viewed, and incorporated into online metadata.

Recommended by D. Wright and the Oregon Coastal Atlas team, particularly when dealing with FGDC metadata.

SWEET Ontologies

swatson — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 21:48:00 -0800

Ontologies represented in the Ontology Web Language for Earth Realms, Numerics, Phenomena (any transient feature), Physical Properties, Space, Physical Substances, Time, Units, Dataset Properties. The ontologies include some class-subclass relationships between terms as well as other restrictions (e.g., disjoint from).

The ontologies are not very specific. Crosswalks have been created to the Global Change Master Directory keywords and the NetCDF COARDS Climate and Forecast (CF) Conventions.
