Metadata is commonly defined as “data about data” and also plays a critical role in any Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) initiatives. Metadata not only provides users of spatial data with information about the purpose, quality, actuality and accuracy of spatial datasets, but also performs vital functions that make spatial data interoperable, that is, capable of being shared between systems…
A GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation) is an Indian SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation System) intended to provide accurate and reliable navigation information for all phases of flight over the Indian FIR (Flight Information Region) and in the adjoining areas applicable for safety-of-life operations meeting the performance requirements of ICAO. The implementation of the GAGAN program is being realized through the following two phases…
