[Geodata] dclite4g for geospatial metadata - new namespace and schema

[jo at frot.org]

dear all,

As a byproduct of a bit more work on the DCLite4G model,
it now has a proper namespace for use in XML documents and an
accompanying OWL ontology. 

http://dclite4g.xmlns.com/

The model has been simplified so there is now no longer the
distinction between abstract "Data Set" and concrete (e.g.
downloadable) "Data Source". Instead there is a new "Series" type
wihch can be used to collect data sets together in various ways (a
series of snapshots or slices over time, a set of tiles,
a set of different representations of a common data set).

http://genesi-dr.terradue.com/news/_news.asp?title=Core+Metadata
has a commented example of the new simplified dclite4g used to enhance
Dublin Core metadata in RDF/XML.

I hope this will be of use particularly for those wanting to produce
"INSPIRE-compliant" metadata from existing Dubl Core-oriented
repositories without going the IS19115 route. 

cheers,


jo
