Desarrollo de un Toolbox para la generación automática de metadatos para ortoimágenes y modelos digitales del terreno – Norma ISO 19139

Abstract

Metadata is a fundamental part of the cartographic production process, as it allows all information regarding product identification to be stored, especially in the context of compliance with geospatial information standards (ISO 19139 and ISO 19115). In the case of Colombia, the aim is to comply with CONPES 3585 of 2009, which, with regard to metadata, seeks to regulate and standardize metadata documentation. For this reason, this work focuses on developing a toolbox in ArcGIS Pro for the automatic generation of metadata for orthoimages and Digital Terrain Models – ISO 19139 standard through the SCRUM methodology in conjunction with a 4+1 architecture that allows for the implementation of the software. The result is a toolbox in ArcGIS Pro that automatically generates an XML file that complies with ISO 19139 and ISO 19115, allowing users to optimize the time required to generate metadata and facilitate its implementation, thus facilitating access to and exchange of information. In addition, it is a tool that ensures the inclusion of information on accuracy and updating, among other things, reducing the barrier to data integration in different applications such as land use planning, risk management, etc.
