Metadata in GeoNode
To enable apropriate use of geographic data stored in GeoNode, and to enable finding data in GeoNode it is important to fill out the metadata forms after uploading data in GeoNode.
The metadata of a layer can be changed by selecting a layer (i.e. the layer is displayed in front of a background map) and use of the button >> Edit Layer >> Edit Metadata.
We recommend to fill out at least the following metadata fields:
- Title
- Date => automatically filled. Note, it is possible to change the type of the date.
- Edition (year)
- Abstract
- Purpose
- Keywords region
- Restrictions
- Language
- Category (chose one out of the listing)
- Spatial representation type : e.g. vector / raster /etc.
- Keywords: at least 3 keywords
- Point of Contact : select a user (account) that can answer questions about the data.
The metadata form of GeoNode is compatible with internacional standards such as ISO TC211, FGDC, Dublin Core, etc.
Access
GeoNode allows to select who can see and download layers and maps. The access rights can be set by selecting a layer or map (so it is shown) and using the button >> Edit Layer >> Edit Permissions.
