The application also facilitates the incorporation and maintenance of thesauri of subjects and key words, with the purpose of facilitating the edition of metadata. This includes the ability to incorporate a users own list of key words. The software also allows the user to incorporate and exchange metadata with other organisations or departments stored within other data bases. MetaD has been developed with visual basic (VB) programming language, which limits the ability of this tool to be developed for web based applications. However, MetaD has the ability to be connected to a database in the network. MetaD uses Microsoft Access as the database technology. Access is used by small businesses create ad hoc customised desktop systems for handling the creation and manipulation of data. Some professional application developers use Access for rapid application development, especially for the creation of prototypes and standalone applications that serve as tools for on-the-road salesmen. Access does not scale well if data access is via a network, so applications that are used by more than a handful of people tend to rely on Client-Server based solutions. The structure and terminology of this tool follows the Standard ISO 19115. As this standard is very generic, the IDEC has adapted it to the particularities of Spain, giving as result the elements that appear in the application. In summary, the MetaD application uses a graphical style interface, in order to simplify the complexity of the metadata standard for users of the application. The application also has the ability to convert coordinates into other formats which are required for specific standards. The objectives of the application are not just the ability to create metadata records for geographic information, but also to be able to easily maintain or change metadata re- 127
cords as required. The application allows users to change former metadata records created. Once created, metadata can be exported to catalogues as XML files, either as single record sheets, or the entire file.

CatMDEdit has been developed by the TeIDE consortium. TeIDE is a Spanish consortium constituted by the R&D groups of the University of Zaragoza, the Universitat Jaume I, and the Polytechnic University of Madrid. The CatMDEdit library is freeware; it can be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either the current version of the License, or any later version. The tool has been implemented in Java and is multi-platform (Windows, Unix). As it has been developed in Java and the storage of metadata records is managed directly through the file system, the application can be deployed in any platform with the minimum requirement of having Java installed. CatMdEdit enables users to create consistent metadata describing spatial data resources. The functionality includes basic services for creating and editing metadata, as
