Standards and models
Revision of the Swiss metadata standards
A revision of the Swiss metadata model for GM03 geodata is planned. The aim is to define a new Swiss profile for geodata retrieval and interoperability between portals. The various attributes will be reviewed at this meeting.
Overview of relevant standards
| International Standards | CH-Standards | |
|---|---|---|
| Metadata standard for geografic information | ISO19115 | GM03 – Swiss standard for geometadata |
| XML-schema-implementation of metadata standard ISO19115 | ISO19139 | ISO19139_CHE implemented in geocat.ch |
| Application profile for data portals and catalogues | DCAT-AP | DCAT-AP CH implemented in opendata.swiss |
ISO19139_CHE - the standard in geocat.ch
The ISO19139 standard is the XML implementation of the international metadata standard ISO 19115. ISO10139_CHE includes the Swiss extensions, adopted from the GM03 standard, and is implemented in geocat.ch as a standard.
you will find an example of an xml document in ISO19139_che in the documentation (french / german) on how to record metadata in geocat.ch.
GM03 - the metadata standard for Switzerland
The Swiss metadata model GM03 is a Swiss standard SN 612050. GM03 is a profile of the international metadata standard ISO 19115. Several extensions have been made to meet the various requirements of Swiss partners.
GM03 consists of the following two models :
- GM03 Core, the basic model
- GM03 Comprehensive, the extended model
The GM03 models can be found at models.interlis.ch/geocat.ch/. The models with some accompanying files on GM03 can also be downloaded here.
Note: If the version of the INTERLIS model published here differs from the version published in the Model Repository, the version posted in the Model Repository applies.
