6. Represents a documented and ordered summary of information that describes something, in this case, spatial data. Provides the What, Where, When and Why for a spatial dataset. Includes its Ownership and Contact (Who) details and Access and Use conditions. Metadata (data describing data)

7. What are the ingredients? Where were ingredients produced? Who sells the ingredients? What are the brewing steps? When does the fermentation process end? Photographic Images copyright: Jupiter Images 2006 Think of metadata as a recipe for making beer.

9. Think of metadata as food product labelling. What are the ingredients? What is the nutritional value? How many calories and how much fat? When is this product’s expiry date? Where was it produced? Who produced it?

40. UK Academic Geospatial Metadata Application Profile, Version 2.1 (UK AGMAP 2.1) UK AGMAP 2.1 created to support the specific needs of the UK H&FE communities. Comprises elements from ISO 19115, UK GEMINI 2.1 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 2.1 and DDI.

57. A simple interface designed for UK academia to run queries to discover metadata for spatial datasets, and to locate geographic resources. The portal enables searching by the use of various options including - free text - date - resource type - geographic location GoGeo Portal: www.gogeo.ac.uk GoGeo rebuilt and redesigned. Launched on 17 May 2011
