Workshop Held on the Topic: Entry and Update of Metadata

On June 12, 2024, a workshop on the topic “Entry and Update of Metadata” was held at the premises of the Federal Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs. The workshop was attended by nine representatives of the stakeholders of the Spatial Data Infrastructure of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SDI FBiH). Representatives attended on behalf of the following stakeholders:

  • Federal Hydrometeorological Institute
  • Federal Institute for Geology
  • Fund for Environmental Protection of the Federation of BiH
  • Agency for the Sava River Basin
  • Federal Ministry of Physical Planning
  • Roads of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo
  • Public Company Motorways of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Ltd. Mostar

During the workshop, participants were introduced to the new version of the Metadata Catalogue, the implementation rules for metadata, and the new SDI FBiH metadata profile. Additionally, a demonstration of data entry into the Metadata Catalogue was conducted, providing practical insight into the process crucial for maintaining the accuracy and up-to-date of spatial data.

This workshop represents a significant step towards improving the metadata database and ensures that all SDI FBiH stakeholders are adequately equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary for consistent management and updating of spatial data and metadata. Following the workshop, all necessary materials will be provided to the participants to facilitate the continued active entry of metadata for spatial data sources managed by the relevant institutions, all in accordance with the SDI FBiH Law.

In line with the Work Plan for 2024 in the field of SDI FBiH, other thematic workshops will be organized in the coming period, thereby continuing the ongoing education and enhancement of the spatial data, metadata, and network services management system.

The Federal Administration for Geodetic and Property Affairs remains committed to providing support to all SDI FBiH stakeholders and continuously improving the quality and accessibility of spatial data.
