terraCatalog - Web Catalogue Service for Spatial Data Infrastructures
terraCatalog is a powerful and scalable metadata management system based on open standards, enabling the capture and serving of metadata for geo-resources. As an easy-to-use search engine on the Intranet and Internet, terraCatalog enables quick access to distributed geographic information resources within public or enterprise-wide spatial data infrastructures.
tterraCatalog supports the search for, and maintenance of metadata via intuitive web interfaces. As well as making locally-stored and managed metadata available to users via standardised interfaces, terraCatalog’s broker function enables it to integrate external catalogues and data sources in its search for metadata (distributed searching and harvesting). The system implements the OGC CSW 2.0.2 interface, as well as the ISO Metadata Application Profile V1.0 (ISO19115/19119) and the DE Profile for Catalogue Services.
terraCatalog satisfies the requirements of the European Commission’s INSPIRE Directive for the creation of an EU Spatial Data Infrastructure. It provides an INSPIRE Discovery Service interface as well as supporting all INSPIRE metadata elements required for the collection, validation, display and search.
Product-Option:
