ISO Biological Profile and schema

[jacimize]

We have had some discussion in the NOAA Metadata Group about the Biological Profile of ISO. ISO 19115:2003(E) starting on page 129 ISO 19115-1:2014(E) starting on page 139 No maintenance authority truly exists for the schema implementation of these extensions. Would your group be the best folks in which to add these schema with the rest of the ISO 19115-1 schema?

Previous ISO 19115 schema were updated to reflect this profile and references and resources for implementation available at ftp://ftp.ncddc.noaa.gov/pub/Metadata/Online_ISO_Training/Intro_to_ISO/schemas/ISObio/ and ftp://ftp.ncddc.noaa.gov/pub/Metadata/Online_ISO_Training/Intro_to_ISO/workbooks/BIO_Metadata.pdf

@jacimize Hi, I see from the below thread that you created the schema files for the ISO 19115 biological extension (linked above on the NOAA ftp).

https://sourceforge.net/p/geonetwork/mailman/message/32268017/

I see this issue hasn't progressed. Is there any more official schema repository for the ISO biology extended schema files than the FTP links above? After searching for a few hours I would guess not.

@tedhabermann any thoughts? Trying to validate 19115-2 files with biology extension content and the standard schemas at http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd/ of course aren't sufficient.

It would be great to have the biology embedded gmd schema available at something like http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmdbio/

Shane,

ISO does not provide a place for "official" extensions (seems strange), but we have talked about using the git repository as a place for such things. Most of my ISO work is focused on 19115-3 these days, but I would help do something that makes sense...

@tedhabermann Thanks Ted. Yes, it would be helpful to have the biology extended gmd schema available at a machine readable URL that's cleaner than the current NOAA ftp site:

ftp://ftp.ncddc.noaa.gov/pub/Metadata/Online_ISO_Training/Intro_to_ISO/schemas/ISObio/

If you're thinking of using GitHub to serve the biology extended schemas, adding the xsd files to this repository and creating a git tag would allow linking to the raw content. Even better would be serving the schemas at https://iso-tc211.github.io/xml using GitHub pages/gh-pages.

Shane, The maintenance authority, NBII, is no longer around. The USGS reorganized and I wrote those schema in accordance with what was in the ISO extensions (as noted in the readme text file). I have been looking for a "home" to host these and become the new maintenance authority. I'd be more than happy to assist anyone willing to take these on. In fact, I believe that I created a ticket within the ISO TC211 group about this issue. -Jaci

Thanks @jacimize, I believe we're on the very ticket that you mention?

I think at least getting the isobio files added to this repository would be a good first step. The .xsds could be accessed via http, and pull requests could be used to maintain them (xlink needs to be updated...)

Has any progress been made on this (particularly, adding to 19115-1)?

Hi Josh I seem to be missing the start to this thread. Who are you thinking would be adding this profile? Where is the "Biological Profile and schema” to be found? Cheers e Evert Bleys Australia +61 (0)2 62811773 +61 (0)411 483 876 ejbleys@gmail.com Skype ejbleijs@gmail.com

Just to add that since we now have the official XML resource site it would be easy to serve up the said schemas in a stable location under https://schemas.isotc211.org. It would be up to the XMG to decide.

[jetgeo]

Absolutely, @ronaldtse. We can store profile schemas on isotc211.org. We could set up a "profiles" folder under each standard or part of standard. E.g. "https://schemas.isotc211.org/iso19115/profiles/..." or "https://schemas.isotc211.org/iso19115/-3/profiles/..."

[ronaldtse]

Agree!
