Cataloguing: a prerequisite for sharing

This step is essential for sharing and promoting your data assets. It allows you to organize your metadata records in different catalogs, such as :

  • a catalog for internal use;
  • a catalog for partners;
  • and a catalog for the general public.

A metadata record can belong to several catalogs.

Isogeo's sophisticated catalog management enables you to control the distribution of your data according to your target audience.

Add value to your data: share and distribute your catalogs

The final step in this process is to promote your catalogs to your users. Isogeo's comprehensive rights management enables you to distribute your data catalogs :

  • In-house.
  • External:
    • with your Isogeo partners;
    • in your own media (intranet, extranet, internet) ;
    • within your Geographic Data Infrastructure, via a standardized CSW 2.0 web service;
  • In other software interfaces via our REST API.

This means that all your users - internal and external - have access to a catalog of data, and to the search, consultation and download services available to them.

If Isogeo places metadata at the heart of an innovative business process, it does so within a more global framework of territorial governance of geographic data. Producers, users and administrators all play their part in the collective enrichment and enhancement of mastered geographic data.
