CatMDEdit is an application for the creation and edition of geographic metadata in conformance with the "ISO19115. Geographic Information - Metadata" standard.
This tool has been developed by TeIDE (http://teide.unizar.es/). TeIDE is a Spanish consortium constituted by the R&D groups of the University of Zaragoza (Computer Science and Systems Engineering Dept.), the Universitat Jaume I (Dept. of Information Systems), and the Polytechnic University of Madrid (Topography and Cartography Dept.). The objective of TeIDE is to
encourage the research and the technological development of Spatial Data Infrastructures, and to apply these infrastructures for solving problems and providing services to citizens, companies and public institutions.
The main features of the metadata editor are the following:
- Multiplatform (Windows, Unix).
- Multilingual (Spanish and English at present).
- Two edition interfaces:
* A detailed interface following the ISO19115 standard.
* And a reduced interface following the "Núcleo Español de Metadatos - NEM" (core metadata). NEM, a subset of ISO19115, is a recommendation under development which has been defined by the Spanish National Geographical High Board ("Consejo Superior Geográfico"). This subset includes all the elements defined for the ISO19115 Core metadata profile (“Core metadata for geographic datasets”).
- Interoperability with other metadata standards (CSDGM of FGDC, Dublin Core, MIGRA).
- Import/Export utilities through Excel files.
- Use of thesauri to facilitate edition of keywords.
