CAN/CGSB 171.100-2009

The North American Profile of ISO 19115:2003 Geographic information — Metadata is intended to identifygeospatial metadata that are needed for North American organizations to describe their geospatial data,including dataset and dataset series, and related Web services. It is based on ISO 19115:2003 Geographicinformation — Metadata and ISO 19106:2004 Geographic information — Profiles. It also includes servicemetadata from ISO 19119:2005 Geographic information — Services and implementation perspectives fromISO/TS 19139:2007 Geographic information — Metadata — XML schema implementation. As outlined inISO 19106:2004 Geographic Information — Profiles, it satisfies conformance Class 1 since it defines a puresubset of ISO 19115:2003 Geographic information — Metadata and ISO 19119:2005 Geographic information –Services. Retained metadata elements have been selected to enhance discovery of geographic informationwithin North America and to minimize authorized duplications. The extension of code lists is also intended tosupport to geographic information discovery. Annex A provides the adjustments made to the ISO 19115:2003Geographic information –Metadata and ISO 19119:2005 Geographic information–Services UML models.

This profile intends to be an inclusive document addressing ISO 19115:2003 Geographic information –Metadata and the accepted modifications. It is presented in a manner to support the consistent capture anduse of geospatial metadata. As such, it includes best practices to guide data providers in capturing geospatialmetadata. To that end, it supports interoperability of geospatial information as it provides a commonframework for the description and representation of metadata. In addition, this profile provides a mechanismto support cultural and linguistic adaptability by enabling representation of free text in multiple languages andby introducing a metadata register describing metadata in multiple languages (e.g. English and French)compliant to ISO 19135:2005 Geographic information– Procedures for item registration.

Note: Parts of ISO 19110:2005 Geographic information –Methodology for feature cataloguing andISO/FDIS19111rev. Geographic information –Spatial referencing by coordinates are covered as needed.
