6. Represents a documented and ordered summary of information that describes something, in this case, a spatial dataset. Provides the What, Where, When and Why of a dataset, Ownership and Contact details and Access and Use conditions. Think of metadata as a recipe for making beer….. What are the ingredients? What are the brewing steps? Who sells the ingredients or W here can you buy them? Purpose of making beer?

23. * An application profile is derived from a standard and represents a reduction of the number of entities and elements. * It should include the core element set of a standard to support interoperability across the wider geospatial community ( Discovery level metadata). * Should include elements for Descriptive level metadata? * It can be extended to include elements which are best suited for a working group’s specific applications. Example: The Biological Data Profile (BDP) An approved profile with additional elements to allow for documenting biological information such as taxonomy , m ethodology and analytical tools . http://www.flickr.com/photos/f10n4/186861991/

35. UK Academic Geospatial Metadata Application Profile, Version 2 (UK AGMAP 2) UK AGMAP 2 created to support the specific needs of the UK H&FE academic communities. Comprises elements from ISO 19115, UK GEMINI 2 and INSPIRE. Supports documentation of a dataset, dataset series or geo service for the purpose of discovery and description. Mapped to Dublin Core, FGDC, INSPIRE, UK GEMINI 2 and DDI.
