520 _aExamines how metadata developments are facilitating the description of growing amounts of geospatial information and data and are providing a more comprehensive solution with respect to documentation. Considers the recent development of a number of metadata standards for geographical data, in particular the ISO 19115/19119 standard, and the issues involved in creating a metadata catalogue or portal, which allows the exchange of geographical data and information between data producers and users. Looks in detail at the use of the GeoTask generic metadata management solution to produce the Swiss national metadata catalogue. This catalogue shows that uniform and well-organised documentation of geospatial data ensures wide dissemination and good use of the relevant information.
