Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) metadata serves as a structured and standardized set of information that describes the characteristics, content, and quality of geospatial datasets.
This metadata provides essential details about spatial data’s origin, format, projection, and accuracy, facilitating its effective discovery, evaluation, and utilization.
Users rely on SDI metadata to understand the scope and relevance of available geospatial information, making informed decisions about data suitability for specific applications.
Metadata enhances interoperability by promoting a common understanding of data across diverse platforms and systems. It plays a crucial role in supporting data sharing, integration, and collaboration within the geospatial community, ensuring stakeholders can easily access and use spatial data for various purposes, such as urban planning, environmental monitoring, and scientific research.
Central access point to standardised metadata concerning digital structured geological data across Europe.
Allows users to discover and access available datasets, view their metadata and select, display and download subsets of elements from multiple datasets.
