Metadata is information about data.
In a corporate environment, everyone's access to metadata is
essential as the first stage of preventing duplicity of data.
It is also the most important "tool" when formulating a strategy
for more efficiency in inter-department dissemination of data.
Metadata is also required by Law. The EU INSPIRE directive
Implementation Rule #1 covers the requirement of public organisations to provide
a public service listing the types of data the organisation holds.
At the heart of e-volutionGIS is a Metadata system complete with
public access web pages but more importantly the mechanisms to pull together an
organisation's data holdings in a highly practical way.
We are able to insert a Metadata system into your organisation
with virtually no disruption to existing systems, get you a "tick in the box"
and provide you with the first stepping stone to truly corporate working - for
about £500!
Here is a screen-shot of discovery-level metadata in use within evoNET.
Rows are coloured according to the access rights required of the specific data.
