MetaD > Thesaurus
A Thesaurus is an alphabetical list of selected words or topics to classify documentation: in this case metadata.
Each Geospatial Organization of data producers has designed models of the real world according to criteria and own needs. For this reason a same object can be understood in a different manner by each Organization (it is called the semanthics problem related with terminology and conceptualisation of territory models). This document pretends to systematize the features description initiating a way towards the standardization in this field in a unique understanding manner, that's to say, a symbol or feature must have the same meaning for all of us.
Note: You can download mdb-files, and then, you import to MetaD.
