UK GEMINI (Geo-spatial Metadata Interoperability Initiative)
UK GEMINI is a specification for a set of metadata elements for describing geospatial data resources for discovery purposes. It has been produced and is maintained by the AGI Standards Committee. It is a free of charge resource provided by the AGI for the benefit of the GI community.
UK GEMINI v2.1
Version 2.1 of UK GEMINI2 includes changes to take into account the latest version of the INSPIRE Metadata Implementing Rules Technical Guidelines, as well as experience of use of the earlier version of UK GEMINI. It forms the basis of the UK Location Programme discovery metadata service.
UK GEMINI v2.1 amendment 1
A minor amendment is proposed to UK GEMINI2.1. This is based upon experience of the UK Location Programme Metadata Working Group in implementing a national geospatial metadata service. This amendment is published for comment. Any comments should be submitted to gemini@agi.org.uk by 30 April 2012. The amendment document should be read in conjunction with UK GEMINI2.1.
