Integrated Tools for Managing Data and Metadata
Many organizations face problems in integrating the management of their geospatial data and metadata. This project will combine several existing concepts, technologies and processes into a new high-performance,user-friendly tool that will forge a dynamic link between geospatial data servers and metadata servers. By integrating data and metadata management, these tools will enable data providers to directly update their metadata and to more easily configure their data for the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI). Integrated management will allow providers to devote more time to improving data accuracy, updating databases, and gathering new data. Users of geospatial data also will benefit, since the integration tools will make relevant information easier to find and its quality and detail easier to assess. As well, this project will help advance two research projects supported by the GEOIDE Network (part of the national Network of Centres of Excellence), one concerning Web-based geospatial warehousing and decision-support systems, the other concerning the integration of metadata for environmental health applications.
