FYI.. -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 9:00 AM Cc: Sara Graves Should probably look into this for ESML (and THREDDS) content metadata schema... -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 6:59 AM The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) is working through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to develop a Profile of the ISO 19115 Metadata DIS for North America along with counterparts from Canada. Passage of ISO as Intl Standard is anticipated later in 2002 at which time, ANSI will move to vote on it and include a Technical Amendment 1 that will elevate the conditionality of certain metadata elements to the same level as exist in the FGDC Metadata Content Standard. By June 2002 the FGDC will receive, under contract, a translation tool, in the form of an XSL Transform (XSLT) that will convert existing FGDC metadata in XML format to ISO 19115 in XML format, adhering to the published draft XML Schema for 19115 and considering the conditionality issues above. Services Metadata (ISO 19119) is not ready to be adopted by ANSI pending work still being completed in the OGC's Web Services Initiative. The relationship between data metadata and services metadata in an operational setting still does not have an accepted solution within the GIS and Web Services industry. The FGDC is also leading a Geospatial OneStop Initiative nationally to define core abstract schemas for commonly-used Framework data themes and equivalent XML encodings. This standards development effort will conform to ISO Rules for Application Schema, Encoding, Spatial and Temporal, and is intended to match the New Work Item proposal of Geography Markup Language (GML) now entering the ISO process. The result will be implemented by many community participants in the form of compatible Web Feature Services supporting the seven Core data schemas for information exchange using OGC Web Feature and Web Coverage Services, supplemented by Web Mapping Services for views only. OneStop will be operational within 18-24 months for most if not all of the seven themes, by lead federal government agencies and participating non-federal contributors. Doug. -- Douglas D.
