Metadata Editor Core

WB-Metadate Editor is a JSON schema based Metadata Editor that works for core micro-data schemas DDI 2.5 Codebook, Dublin Core and ISO 19115/ ISO19139 for geospatial data. The schema for these well-defined specifications will be provided by The World Bank Group (WBG) in JSON4 schema format and will be integrated to the proposed metadata editor with a set of default UI templates mapping to these specifications. In addition to the above specifications, the tool will be developed in such a way that any custom data type, including time series and geospatial, schema can be created and templates generated out of it. One of the key functional requirements is for R integration for importing data and schema from various file types such as CSV, STATA, SPSS, SAS and generating variable summaries.

The application will be used by people across several countries, both within and outside of WBG, importing complex custom survey data sets into WBG data library. The modern open source technologies, will enable easy to use UI driven schema and template generator capable of running under different platforms. The application will be a replacement the current Nesstar Publisher with a subset of functionalities as specified in the RFP and addendum to the RFP.
