Minerals Intelligence Network for Europe
Metadata Catalogue
The Minerals4EU Metadata Catalogue is the central access point to metadata concerning
European mineral resources and related topics. It provides tools for compilation of
those metadata in a standardized format that will allow users to effectively search
through the database. In order to make the data discoverable in the most efficient way,
the catalogue is fully compliant with international standards and supports the
distributed system of metadata administration. Only digital and structured information
(spatial datasets or dataset series and spatial data services - WMS, WFS) should be
described by metadata in this catalogue.
In order to display a metadata record for which an on-line map service is available,
the Metadata Catalogue will be integrated into the Minerals4EU Portal.
The catalogue will enable systematic discovery, viewing and use of data on mineral
resources across Europe.
