The metadata portal is developed using openlayers 3 open API and provides basic functionalities to search, display, browse and evaluate metadata. 

Searching

User can can click on a record and display detailed metadata. In addition, if any related metadata available, user can browse through them, e.g. DPKC (PDF) -> Georef dataset (GeoTIFF) -> Data service  (OGC WMS) and vice versa (Figure 3).

Downloading data

The last step is to get the actual data. Each metadata record about georeferenced map contains link  to the original dataset in GeoTIFF format published via Web Coverage Service (WCS). In addition, respective scanned dataset can be downloaded via simple HTTP web link . Additional information about cadastral data can be downloaded as PDF files . Each georeferenced dataset can be used in any GIS client application which can work with OGC services.
