ISO 19115 (Geospatial Metadata)

ISO 19115 is an international standard that defines how to describe geospatial data—information related to Earth's geographic features—so that it can be easily found, understood, and used. It provides a detailed framework for metadata, which includes details like who created the data, how accurate it is, when and where it was collected, and what it covers. This helps scientists, government agencies, and others efficiently share and manage geographic information, ensuring data quality and consistency across different systems and projects.
