MetadataΒΆ
Metadata is used by GeoTools to describe GeoSpatial information and services. The data structure is an implementation of ISO19115 (for metadata describing spatial data).
The gt-metadata module also pulls double duty as the first implementation module it is responsible for providing the facilities we use to wire the library together at runtime.
The gt-metadata module is responsible for:
- implementation of the metadata interfaces from gt-opengis such as Citation and Identifier
- Configuring the library at runtime with GeoTools and FactoryRegistery and Logging facilities
- Utility classes with helpful implementations for Collections, Caching and Object pools
