Why bother with metadata?

Why bother with metadata standards?

• Content checklist for authors

• Common understanding of geospatial data

- Between countries

- Between communities

• Publish to metadata catalogs

• Consistent terminology for global search

A Metadata Standard for IGI&S:

Spatial Data Standards for Facilities, Infrastructure, and

Environment - Metadata (SDSFIE-M)

Mr. Kurt Buehler

DISDI Program Support

Image Matters LLC


Agenda

• Overview and history of SDSFIE Metadata

• Description of SDSFIE-M

• Description of SDSFIE-M Implementation Schema

• Status and Description of SMIS Metadata Style for ArcGIS 10.1

• Next Steps

12


• Geospatial Metadata is required for all SDSFIE data, per OMB

Circular A-16 and DoD Directive 5105.6 (GEOINT Functional

Management)

• Current SDSFIE metadata is compliant with old standard

developed by Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)

• New ISO-based standards were finalized by NGA and FGDC in

2012

• DISDI Group developed a profile of ISO 19115 known as

SDSFIE Metadata(SDSFIE-M) v1.0.2

• Compliant with NGA and FGDC requirements as well as DoD

Discovery Metadata Specification (DDMS)

• SDSFIE-M v1.0.2 (specification) is now complete and DISDI

Group is drafting implementation guidance

SDSFIE Metadata (SDSFIE-M) 1.0.2


14

What is SDSFIE-M? (Cont.)

• A conceptual schema…

• A Class 2 Profile of ISO/TC 19115:2003/Cor 1:2006 and ISO/TC 19115-2:2009 intended for use by the Installation Geospatial Information and Services (IGI&S) community

– MD_Distribution is not included in our profile

• All extension elements from National System for Geospatial Intelligence Metadata Foundation (NMF) Parts 1, 2 and 3 (version 2.1) are included except NMF_DataIdentification

• All extensions from North American Profile of ISO/TC 19115:2003 are included

• SV_ServiceIdentification from ISO/DIS 19115-1 is included

• Added an SMF_Feature data type to allow for alias name, model name, justification, definition, description, and note from SDSFIE.


15

SDSFIE Metadata Implementation

Specification (SMIS)

• SMIS is the implementation specification for SDSFIE-M

– The structure is expressed in XML Schema

– Schematron rules implement the content validation that (e.g., restriction of elements to

codelist values, enforce mandatory elements, implement relationships between elements,

valid day, date, time elements)

– Many tools can handle the XML Schema structural validation

– Tools like <oxygen/> XML Editor can handle content validation

• SMIS includes a document, XML schemas, Schematron files, code lists


SDSFIE Metadata Implementation

Specification (SMIS)

• SMIS Document

– Based on NSG Metadata Implementation Specification, Part II: XML Exchange Schema

– Technical description of how the SMIS schemas were created as a profile of ISO 19139

and 19139-2 schemas with extensions from National System for Geospatial-Intelligence

(NSG) Metadata Implementation Specification (NMIS), North American Profile of ISO

19115:2003/Cor. 1:2006 (NAP), XML Data Encoding Specification for Information

Security Marking Metadata (DES.ISM), and XML Data Encoding Specification for Need-

To-Know Metadata (DES.NTK)

• DISDI Group adopted 1.0.2 version in September


SMIS 1.0.2 Schemas Posted to DSE

• Schemas that correspond to SDSFIE-M 1.0.2 are posted to the DSE

– http://metadata.ces.mil/dse/ns/DISDI/smis/1.0.2/smis.xsd

• Lacking Schematron updates until Beta stage of SDSFIE-M Metadata Style is complete (under development)

– Need to ensure DSE codelists and Metadata Style codelists align


18

SDSFIE-M Metadata Style for ArcGIS

• January, 2014 DISDI Program developed an

ArcGIS metadata style

– Alpha testing has completed

– DISDI Group members conducted limited user tests

– Several comments received

• The beta version of the SDSFIE-M Metadata Style

(ArcGIS 10.1) will be on DSE by the end of the week

and can be downloaded and tested

– http://metadata.ces.nil/dse/ns/DISDI/sdsfiemetadatastyle

• ArcGIS 10.2 version coming in early March
