21. Metadata creation
 protects investments of time and cost dedicated to
dataset creation and development;
 maintains an inventory of datasets to reduce time required to
re-assess existing datasets for new and future applications;
 ensures integrity of existing and new datasets using metadata
as a tracking mechanism to monitor changes and edits to
datasets;
 reduces and minimises the disruptive effects of staff
turnover;
 eliminates or reduces the risk of redundancy in dataset
collection;
 saves against accidental deletion of dataset files.

 Define and describe metadata entities and elements, and classify
and group relevant metadata elements with entities.
 Assign structure and conditions (obligations, data type, domain).

31. INSPIRE Directive Metadata Guidelines
Infrastructure for
Spatial Information
in the European
Community
(INSPIRE)
*European Commission (EC)
*European Environment
Agency (EEA)
*Representatives from
Member States (Mapping/GIS)

32.  Targets electronic spatial data and services for environmental
information.
 Aims to create a European Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) based
on Member States’ infrastructures, to improve interoperability of
spatial information.
 Data and services to be delivered through European initiatives.
 INSPIRE Regulations came into force on 31 December 2009 and
applies to England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
 Scotland’s Parliament enacted a complementary regulation on the
same date.
 Public authorities obliged to produce and keep ‘metadata’ current
for describing datasets, dataset series and geo-services.
 Includes UK academia (Freedom of Information Act, 2000).

revised UK GEMINI 2.1 to meet the
requirements of the EU INSPIRE Directive.
UK Location Programme (UKLP)
is a pan-government
collaborative initiative with the
responsibility to develop and implement
the INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC
and the UK Location Strategy.

58. A simple interface designed for UK academia to run queries to
discover metadata for spatial datasets, and to locate geographic
resources.
The portal enables searching by the use of various options
including
- free text
- date
- resource type
- geographic location

64. Access to metadata records published on a Group node

65.  a repository for you to store and manage your metadata thus
savings in cost and time;
 use metadata to announce your data and applications;
 advertise (and sell?) your spatial datasets to other interested
parties in academia and in the private and public sectors;
 metadata in the portal can be referenced and cited for project
proposals;
 could be configured as an internal resource to access and share
datasets.
