[GeoNetwork-users] Metadata from tables

I have a colleague who wishes to describe related tables (from relational databases) with associated geometries. In other words, he wants to describe what is in columns in the attribute table of a dataset.

His test case is a simple shapefile where, for each feature, there are columns for percent-agriculture, percent-developed, population, etc. The description of each attribute should include units, data sources, temporal bounds, etc.

I think that we could create an ISO19110 record and then have ISO19119/19139 child records for each of the attributes. Seems like that could get pretty ugly. Then I was also thinking we just add additional data quality sections for each attribute.

I don't have anything that complex in my GeoNetwork instance. Does anyone have an example of something similar that they've done that I can show him for an example?

Hi Kathy,

you have 2 examples here
http://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/search?sortBy=relevance&from=1&to=20&fast=index&_content_type=json&type=featureCatalog

One for a raster and one for a vector datasource.

If using iso19139, you'll have to create a separate feature catalog using
iso19110 and then link the 2 records. In coming iso19115-3, the 2 could be
combined in one record.

Also, to help on creating feature catalog, Talend ETL could be an option
see https://github.com/talend-spatial/workspace-metadata-crawler/
