Metadata are instead presented as a crucial element to ensure the findability of data services and repositories. This paper describes a way through four levels of metadata management and publication, from default unstructured data, through schema-based metadata with literal values and/or URIs, towards linked open (meta)data providing explicit linkage between reliable data resources. Such research was conducted within the European Union\u2019s project PoliVisu. Special attention is given to the following: (1) guidance on publication aimed at the broad audience of search engine users and (2) the publication of geo (meta)data not only via standard technologies, such as the OGC Catalogue Service for Web and open data portals, but also through leading search engines (that are Schema.org-based).", "keywords": ["Geochemistry & Geophysics", "Technology", "Open linked data", "04 Earth Sciences", "02 engineering and technology", "46 Information and computing sciences", "09 Engineering", "Metadata review", "0202 electrical engineering", " electronic engineering", " information engineering", "Geosciences", " Multidisciplinary", "INSPIRE", "40 Engineering", "TOOLS", "Science & Technology", "Geodata", "LINKED-DATA", "Findability", "05 social sciences", "Geology", "37 Earth sciences", "MODEL", "ONTOLOGY", "Open linked metadata", "CATALOG SERVICES", "DISCOVERY", "Computer Science", "Physical Sciences", "Search engines", "Computer Science", " Interdisciplinary Applications", "08 Information and Computing Sciences", "0509 other social sciences", "METADATA", "SPATIAL INFORMATION"]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8091915"}, {"rel": "related", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/Computers%20%26amp%3B%20Geosciences", "name": "related record", "description": "related record", "type": "application/json"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.5281/zenodo.8091915", "name": "item", "description": "10.5281/zenodo.8091915", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.5281/zenodo.8091915"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2022-12-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10044/1/107846", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-05-30T16:25:41Z", "type": "Journal Article", "created": "2023-04-23", "title": "Modular Design for Versatile Broadband Polarizing Metasurfaces with Freely Switching Functions", "description": "Abstract
