Geospatial Enterprise Architecture Community of Practice Working Group Discussion 1. FEA DRM/NSDI Interoperability and Integration Methodology 2. FEA DRM Schema

1. FEA DRM/NSDI Interoperability and Integration Methodology Option 1: Single Pointer to NSDI n One DRM Registry record that points to NSDI Catalog Option 2: Agency Holdings Referenced by DRM n DRM Registry records point to NSDI records FEA DRM Context Extract could be a harvest that invokes XSL transform on the NSDI metadata record NSDI Context DRM Registry DRM Record Contains an extract of the NSDI metadata record NSDI Catalog Geospatial Enterprise Architecture Community of Practice Working Group Metadata Record Data 9

2. FEA DRM Schema Discussion (1) drm: Geospatial. Enabled n n “A boolean flag indicating whether or not a particular data asset supports or provides Geospatial data. ” What does this mean? What requirement(s) does this element address? w “This is geospatial data” w “This data be portrayed geospatially” w Other ddms: geospatial. Coverage n n “Geographic place names or coordinates that relate to the resource, such as a jurisdiction, point, area, or volume on land, in space, or at sea. This element can contain either a Facility element or Place element, but not both. This element is reused from the Department of Defense (Do. D) Discovery Metadata Specification (DDMS) v. 1. 2. ” Can be associated with either Resource, Data. Asset, or Exchange. Package w Resource: “Encapsulates a single "page view" of unstructured or semi-structured data, referenceable via a URI. This element aggregates numerous sub-elements, mostly metadata tags reused from the Dublin Core 1. 1 set. ” w Data. Asset: “An aggregated, managed container. A database, system, application, or other electronic entity that produces and/or houses data. ” w Exchange. Package: “A description of a specific information exchange between organizations. ” n What are the semantics of these associations and where is this described? What requirement(s) does this element address? Geospatial Enterprise Architecture Community of Practice Working Group 10

2. FEA DRM Schema Discussion (2) ISO 19115/19139 has concepts of: n Extent—contains information about the geographic, temporal, and the vertical extent of the referring entity. w The geographic extent can be a bounding polygon, a bounding box, or a geographic description w Geographic description is mean to refer to named places according to some authority (such as a gazetteer) n Address—found within the contact information of the responsible party (can be individual or organizational) Geospatial Enterprise Architecture Community of Practice Working Group 11
