DCLite4G

Introduction

DCLite4G is an effort to

• establish a common information model with mappings to well known formats for geospatial metadata
• provide a vocabulary/recommendations for spatial extensions to Dublin Core
• support simple interfaces for collecting and querying geospatial metadata

Getting involved

Feel welcome to join the discussion and development mailing list:

TODO

• extract more of the specifics from Geodata Metadata Requirements. (This has changed a lot from the original version in the history & current version which has data sets differentiated from data sources, which may be files or databases or services)
• update docs on Geodata Metadata Model
• draw some UML to appease people?
