Meta Information Concepts for Environmental Information Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper gives an overview of a number of aspects of the meta information discussion for Environmental Information Systems (EIS) over the past 7 years. While meta information has mostly been mentioned in the context of Environmental Data Catalogues (EDCs) and/or Catalogues of Environmental Data Sources (CDSs), our group uses meta information for the integration of environmental data into environmental networks. From this viewpoint, we also need EDCs and network navigation components, but our goal was one step further than the above mentioned projects: they usually stop in front of the data source and do not offer integration concepts to connect the data source into a network (Denzer,1995).
