An examination of geospatial data that make up the most expensive component of a geospatial information system (GIS) and accounts for billions of dollars of expenditures annually. Upon successful completion of Advanced Geospatial Metadata, students will demonstrate knowledge about metadata through the evaluation of background data correlated to the various types of GIS data. Students should be able to: differentiate between critical information attached to metadata; differentiate between different procedures used to create and maintain metadata; evaluate metadata and its components; demonstrate to GIS users the how and why there are needs for documenting their data.
