Mapping of ISO 19115:2003 Core elements and INSPIRE Implementing Rules for metadata (informative) Spatial dataset and spatial dataset series The table below compares the core elements of ISO 19115 (see Table 3 in 6.5 of EN ISO 19115:2003) to the requirements of INSPIRE for spatial dataset and spatial dataset series as defined in the Implementing Rules for metadata. ISO 19115 Core INSPIRE Implementing Comments Rules for Metadata Dataset title (M) Part B 1.1 Resource Title - Dataset reference date (M) Part B 5 Temporal Reference ISO 19115 is more demanding. The metadata shall contain a date of publication, revision or creation of the resource, while in INSPIRE the Temporal Reference can also be expressed through Temporal Extent. Dataset responsible party Part B 9 Responsible INSPIRE is more demanding by mandating both the (O) organisation name of the organisation, and a contact e-mail address Geographic location of the Part B 4.1 Geographic INSPIRE is more restrictive. A Geographic bounding dataset (C) Bounding Box box is mandated Dataset language (M) Part B 1.7 Resource ISO 19115 is more demanding. It mandates the Language dataset language, even if the resource does not include any textual information. The ISO 19115 Dataset language is defaulted to the Metadata language. Dataset character set (C) - ISO 19115 is more demanding. The dataset character set has to be documented in ISO 19115 when ISO 10646-1 is not used. The ISO 19115 element maps to the conditional metadata element defined in Art. “Character Encoding” 13(5) of the Implementing Rules on interoperability of spatial data sets and services. This element is mandatory only if an encoding is used that is not based on UTF-8 (the dominant encoding of ISO 10646-1). Dataset topic category (M) Part B 2.1 Topic Category - Spatial resolution of the Part B 6.2 Spatial Resolution - dataset (O) Abstract describing the Part B 1.2 Resource abstract - dataset (M) Distribution format (O) - The ISO 19115 element maps to the mandatory metadata element defined in Art. 13(3) of “Encoding” the Implementing Rules on interoperability of spatial data sets and services. Additional extent information Part B 5.1 Temporal extent INSPIRE is more demanding. A temporal reference is for the dataset (vertical and mandated, and can be expressed as a temporal extent. temporal) (O)
