Geoscience Australia Data provides a community profile document for the ISO 19115-1:2014 metadata standard. The profile modifies the obligation levels of 18 elements and extends codelists for two elements, establishing mandatory and conditional packages to fulfill GA business requirements. The document is available in PDF and DOCX formats.
Use Cases
- Implementing standardized metadata for geoscience datasets based on the ISO 19115-1:2014 profile.
- Establishing mandatory metadata elements for data governance within a geoscience organization.
- Extending codelist values for specific metadata fields to accommodate local requirements.
- Creating a metadata profile that raises obligation levels for a select set of elements.
Strengths
- Profile is based on the authoritative ISO 19115-1:2014 international standard.
- Specific modifications are documented: obligation levels changed for 18 elements and codelists extended for two elements.
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
