Are there any ways to easily translate metadata from other repositories so that it is compatible with DIVER?
Are you asking how to translate FGDC metadata to ISO or Darwin Core metadata?
I think what you are looking for is an XSLT to transform the metadata that you have in your system to what DIVER will read/ingest. Putting the time in to set up or modify an existing XSLT is worthwhile especially if you have a number of record to transform.
So a couple of questions…
How Is your metadata being managed?
Is it individual xml records based on a specific standard?
Is it metadata content, managed in a database?
This question was specific to metadata that we capture in the metadata tool that we built called (EnDMC), which outputs metadata in a JSON format. For this question it was just one metadata entry that we were wanting to track in our tool but are working with NOAA on the project and needed to work with them to create metadata in their system and I didn’t know if there was a faster way to translate it.
I guess there is a little more information needed here. Is the metadata captured in EnDMC based on any standardized metadata? For example, is the content captured using attribute names that are taken from a geospatial metadata standard like ISO19115-2?
