Metadata Reference¶
GeoBlacklight uses a lightweight metadata schema designed for geospatial resource discovery. The schema enables keyword searches, faceted refinement, and spatial map searching.
Metadata schema features:
- based on Dublin Core, with custom elements added for spatial values
- designed for discovery - to help users find items
- not designed for complete technical documentation, such as a GIS dataset's processing history
- includes elements for external links, such as downloads, web services, or supplemental metadata
- interoperable for the OpenGeoMetadata federated metadata sharing community
