[eml-dev] FW: EML and ISO19115

[Eamonn O Tuama (GBIF)]

Hi Ben,

ISO 19115 defines the model (in UML) including such aspects as:
mandatory and conditional metadata elements; the minimum set of metadata
necessary for particular metadata applications (e.g., discovery,
ascertaining fitness for use, access, transfer, and use of data); an
extension mechanism to serve specialist needs.

ISO 19139 defines the XML encoding of the ISO 19115 model in the form of a
set of schemas. The schemas as available here:
http://schemas.opengis.net/iso/19139/

We are continuing to work on the XSLT and will let you know of any changes.
For example, "hierarchyLevel" is mandatory in the North American Profile
of ISO19115
(http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/incits-l1-standards-projects/NAP-Metadata/napMetadataProfileV101.pdf)
- and I expect also for INSPIRE in Europe - so we will be adding that.

All the best,

Éamonn
