Remote sensing archives lose much of their value when datasets are undocumented and undiscoverable; this course builds the metadata management discipline that keeps geospatial data usable over time. Participants build standards-compliant metadata records for real imagery and GIS datasets.
Undocumented geospatial data quietly becomes unusable - future users cannot tell its accuracy, coverage, processing history, or licensing terms. This course builds rigorous metadata management practice for remote sensing and GIS projects, covering the ISO 19115 geographic metadata standard, structuring metadata for imagery, vector, and raster datasets, and using metadata catalogue and data portal tools to make archives discoverable.
Participants also work through data lineage documentation - tracking processing steps from raw imagery to analysis-ready products - and practise building a metadata management workflow that a project or organisation can sustain long after training ends.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Why Metadata Matters for Geospatial Data
Day 2: The ISO 19115 Metadata Standard
Day 3: Structuring Metadata for Imagery Data
Day 4: Structuring Metadata for Vector and Raster Data
Day 5: Documenting Data Lineage
Day 6: Metadata Catalogues and Discovery Tools
Day 7: Licensing and Usage Documentation
Day 8: Auditing Existing Data Archives
Day 9: Building a Sustainable Metadata Workflow
Day 10: Publishing to a Shared Geospatial Data Catalogue
This course is for GIS and data teams whose imagery and spatial archives are becoming too large and undocumented to use reliably.
Participants who complete the ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming their ability to build standards-compliant metadata records and management workflows for geospatial data.
Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the Metadata Management for Remote Sensing Projects programme, you'll be able to apply the iso 19115 geographic metadata standard to real datasets, structure metadata records for imagery, vector, and raster data, document data lineage from raw imagery to analysis-ready products, and use metadata catalogue and data portal tools for discoverability. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
This course is for GIS and data teams whose imagery and spatial archives are becoming too large and undocumented to use reliably. Typical delegates include GIS Data Managers and Archivists, Remote Sensing Analysts maintaining imagery libraries, Spatial Data Infrastructure Officers, Research Data Managers in environmental organizations, Government Geospatial Data Custodians, and NGO M&E Officers managing spatial data archives.
