Objective: Enhance your geographic data assets

Inventory, cataloguing and documentation are the vectors of good data governance. Once all these efforts have been made, it's time to put them to good use:

  • in-house ;
  • with your partners ;
  • to the general public(Open Data).

There are many ways to add value. The aim is to document metadata records once, and value them n times. Here is a detailed representation of the Isogeo value chain:

Detailed Isogeo value chain

From data to data, via metadata

Metadata is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

To provide your users with additional information on your data, or even to make use of it, you can associate web services for viewing or downloading (WMS, WFS, EMS, EFS) or link to a PDF map, for example.

The aim is to reinforce the user experience, enhance the value of the resources in place (map server, for example) and make your catalogs a privileged gateway to your data assets.
