Information resources : a holistic approach

Abstract

Geoportal technologies and the Processes behind the Metadata Editor highlighted that the progress achieved to data entailed steps as the issue of a prototype of a discovery view client for metadata both in JRC and in Malta, where an option would be to use Mapinfo or Arcinfo to export the metadata and then make it INSPIRE compliant. There is potential to have one metadata client across for all Europe, in addition creating a 2-way system, where the national clients feed the European client. Two options also exist in transmission where the metadata xml is uploaded to one repository (url) or else to create a csw system. MT can take the option to upload all its metadata to the JRC folder as in the case of the EEA CDR function.
