Metadata

Information on Creating Metadata for your Spatial Collaboration and Hosting Portal products.

Data Publishers are responsible for providing and maintaining appropriate metadata to ensure that users have all the information required to understand the dataset and assess whether it is fit for their requirements. This must include up to date contact details of the Data Custodian or Data Provider.

Providing standards-based metadata with your item helps people learn about the item and decide which item best meets their needs. In DCS Spatial Services’ Spatial Collaboration and Hosting Portals, the metadata is saved with the item it describes.

Metadata provides the means for discovering spatial information by identifying ‘what,’ ‘where,’ ‘who,’ ‘when,’ and ‘how’ the data behind the information is constructed. Metadata is the means to disclose what the spatial data describes, as well as how it should and can be used, along with any limitations and restrictions.

To assist in maintaining the standard of content published to the portal, Spatial Services have implemented the auto-injection of a metadata table into all new content created or exiting content that has had a change to the share status. This new template will have an enforcement on several fields as a minimum requirement to be completed before a new service can be shared. This is to ensure that the services published in the portal are supported with the minimum amount of information to be published with all new content.
