Metadata management in the real world: NADA Metadata Editor - Mehmood Asghar

In this presentation, Mehmood Asghar (World Bank) discusses the Metadata Editor - a web application developed to produce metadata compliant with multiple metadata standards and schemas. It can be used to create metadata that is designed to be imported into widely used NADA catalogue software.

Currently, it supports DDI CodeBook 2.5, Geospatial (ISO19139), Image (IPTC), Dublin Core for Documents and Tables. The application is highly flexible and may in the future accommodate additional standards and schemas.

The Metadata Editor comes with a RESTful API to automate metadata management and create custom workflows such as importing and exporting metadata in bulk, or publishing to NADA based catalogues.

This presentation was part of our ongoing 'Metadata management in the real world' webinar series.
