The International Standard ISO 19115-1:2014 (Geographic information – Metadata) defines more than 300 metadata elements, with most of these being listed as Optional. The ISO standard states that individual communities may develop a Profile of the International Standard. The conditionality of a select set of metadata elements may be raised but never reduced for a set of users – optional -> conditional or mandatory but never the other way. A community may also want to establish additional metadata elements that are not in the International Standard. A profile should establish domains for all metadata elements. The rules for creating profiles are described in the International Standard Geographic Information – Profiles (ISO 19106:2004). ISO 19106 stipulates particular terminology that must be used when any variation is made to a Standard, namely referring to changes as an Extension. It should be noted that there are no ‘new’ elements in the GA Metadata Profile when compared to the ISO 19115-1:2014. The obligation levels of 18 elements from ISO 19115-1:2014 have been changed, and according to ISO 19106, they form an ‘extension’ to ISO 19115-1:2014. Codelists for two elements have been extended with additional values, and two elements that are free text in the base ISO 19115-1:2014 standard have been constrained by new codelists. • This document highlights all mandatory and conditional packages/entities from ISO 19115-1:2014 necessary to fulfil GA business requirements. • All other entities and packages remain available and can be used as required to describe GA products and datasets. • The other entities and packages have to be used as defined by ISO 19115-1:2014.
