Without speaking to your other questions, the answer to this one is yes, there
are many standards. {grin} In all seriousness, the premiere international
standard is ISO 19115:2003 - Geographic information -- Metadata, often
accompanied by ISO 19139:2007 - Geographic information -- Metadata -- XML
schema implementation. There are also several important national standards. In
the U.S. the national standard for many years has been the Federal Geographic
Data Committee's Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata. That is
being replaced with a ISO 19115 profile, but that work is not yet complete.
If you are working from scratch, I suggest that it would as well to begin with
an ISO 19115 profile into which you can map your legacy metadata. If you have
legacy metadata schemata to bear onward, you will have to do as best you can.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
