Multilingual metadata to access social science data
..Multilingual Metadata to access Social Science Data by Brian Matthews and Michael Wilson
Most countries have a national archive for social science data. This is data about social attitudes, and financial and environmental details, which describe the current and past state of each nation. This information derives from government statistics, and through academic studies, often commissioned by government. These archives are usually a few hundred gigabytes in size, and accessible partially via the Internet and the Web. However, it is becoming increasingly important to allow access across national and linguistic boundaries so that decision makers have a comparative picture of European society.

SCHEMAS: Metadata Watch Report 1
.The purpose of the SCHEMAS Metadata Watch (MD Watch) is to provide a quarterly overview of world-wide progress in the metadata field, which includes work on metadata sets, schemas, frameworks, registries, and the tools needed to create and use all of these things. The added value that the MD Watch provides consists of giving readers (a) the ability to get the information they need from one easy-to-use source, (b) expert opinion and (c) a multi-tiered format that allows readers to get information at three levels of granularity.The three levels consist of the following:
Top level: An overview of key issues in the metadata field; Middle level: Individual reports, by sector, of work in the metadata field; and Bottom level: Reports of individual activities in the metadata field. The middle level is comprised of the following sectors: Academia Audio-Visual Cultural Heritage Education and training Geographic information Industry Publishing Research, i.e. non-commercial laboratories, corporate research, and professional societies Other, which includes, but is not limited to, environmental work, government (including military), health care, mail and delivery, and transport and logistics.

Scientific Meta Data Management: The CERA Metadata Model
... several German geoscience institutes joined for a collaboration on development, implementation, and linkage of the Meta Data Bases (MDBs) at their sites. For Climate and Environmental Data Retrieval and Archiving the CERA Metadata Model was developed. Besides the PIK the Deutsches Klimarechenzentrum (DKRZ, Hamburg), the Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung (AWI, Bremerhaven) and Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK, until end of 1997) were involved in this project. In the mean time other institutions have installed CERA (e.g., Fraunhoferinstitut für atmosphärische Umweltforschung, Garmisch, IfU) or are interested in a cooperation (e.g., Umweltforschungszentrum Leipzig-Halle, UFZ).               The main aims of the CERA MDB are:to make accessible all geographical and other global change relevant data held by any department to employees and collaborators of the involved institutes, by archiving the place where and the form in which the data is stored,                   to make accessible the corresponding data of the other institutes, together with quality information about it, by online-linkage of the data bases,             to  enable the investigator to survey all available data and to assess its quality and reliability,              to coordinate the ordering and storage of data to avoid redundancies,               to enable meta data interchange with national and international institutions by means of a distributed MDB

.The Environmental Information and Assessment programme is a cross-cutting UNEP activity that assists other parts of the programme and the UN system with the collection, management and use of environmental data and information. Its activities include State of the Environment reporting (including assessment, modelling, forecasting, the Global Environment Outlook report (GEO) and the Global Environment Monitoring System -GEMS), Environmental Information Networking (including the Global Resource Information Database - GRID, data management and harmonization, and capacity building through regional environmental and natural resource information networks - ENRIN), Environmental Information Systems responsible for UNEPnet, INFOTERRA and Mercure, and UN system-wide Earthwatch Coordination through an office in Geneva

USGS Mapping Information: National Mapping Program Standards
...Standards set the criteria and specifications to ensure that all products prepared by the USGS National Mapping Division (NMD) under the National Mapping Program (NMP) reflect current mapping and data policies and are accurate and consistent in style and content. The standards are essential for efficient sharing of products and to provide information about geospatial data.

W3C Query Languages Workshop - Position Paper - John Evans
Query Language Requirements for a Distributed GeoSpatial Data Clearinghouse John D. Evans <jdevans@mit.edu>    M.I.T. Dept. of Urban Studies & Planning     Federal Geographic Data Committee The U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) works to facilitate the sharing of geographic information through a National Spatial Data Infrastructure.
1 One component of this effort is a distributed directory of geospatial data known as the National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse.2 Through this Clearinghouse, users can find out what geospatial data exist, locate the data collections they need, evaluate their usefulness for particular applications, and retrieve or order them from providers. This Clearinghouse works through search and retrieval across distributed repositories of geospatial metadata,3 based on the ANSI/NISO Z39.504 search-and-retrieval protocol and the FGDC/ASTM Content Standard5 for Digital Spatial Metadata. (A 1994 executive order6 requires all U.S. federal agencies to document their geospatial data according to this Standard). From the early days of the Clearinghouse in 1994, it has relied on both full-text searches and "fielded search" on SGML versions of these metadata files, using an FGDC Metadata DTD7 (Document Type Definition). This metadata structure, and the common Z39.50 protocol, have proven effective in getting the Clearinghouse effort underway: it now counts close to 100 nodes, maintained by independent organizations around the globe. ..
