2.6.8 Exchanging metadata


A dataset (series) may be described in several languages in accordance with the Dutch metadata standard for geography. Multilingual metadata can be recorded when lists of codes are used, if possible with the support of so-called codespaces. For free text, multilingualism is possible by using the element “Local” from the class MD_Metadata (ISO 19139). By using this element, metadata can be recorded in several languages. The figure indicates the class of MD_Metadata and the UML scheme of this extension on characterString.

The elements with free text in the domain of CharacterString property type in ISO 19115 are intended to support metadata elements with several fields for the same information in different “locals”. The domain of a "local" is “PT_Local”, which means that this is a combination of a language, a country and a character list of codes (view figure), in which the “localised” characterstring is indicated. This “local” may be applied in each free text element in ISO 19115. This is enough, because lists of codes themselves can be translated literally. The conceptual scheme below is included in ISO19139, the necessary data dictionary is included as well in ISO 19139.
