Title: A Metadata to Remember: The Importance of Metadata Management for Infrastructure Utility Companies

Instructors: Anthony Neal with Vanessa Rojas

Course Description: Metadata management is essential for an enterprise CAD/GIS, although it is often implemented as an afterthought. In this class, you will learn why centrally maintained metadata is important for you and your supply chain, as well as for providing an audit trial of who changed what and when. Using a production solution implemented by Autodesk Consulting, this class will teach you how centralized metadata management can be implemented using Autodesk® Topobase™. Learn how you can implement metadata management for Oracle® and Topobase feature classes as well as DWG and SHP files. Learn how metadata can be published to Catalog Services for the Web (CSW) servers so it can be discovered by clients operating in a spatial data infrastructure (SDI). Learn about the statutory requirements upon utility companies in the European Union for metadata and its implication within the spatial data infrastructure known as INSPIRE.
