FORMATTING DISPLAY OF SPATIAL METADATA BASED ON XML
XML is the abbreviation of Extensible Markup Language, and is technology creating structural data. When XML appeared, it was widely used in some fields, for example: e-commerce, data exchange, multimedia transmission, etc. Spatial Metadata is description about geographic spatial data and related information resources, and it helps and promotes us to effectively locate, evaluate, compare, obtain and use geographic related data when it describes and explains content, quality, condition, position and other features about geographic spatial data. XML expressing metadata, not only is exact and can provide effective methods for metadata communication between heterogeneous systems, but also can strongly support for metadata transformations and formatting display. On the basis of mutual information definition and understanding structure, with XSLT we could define relevant XSL files to let processor to do relevant transforming operation and output HTML （other required format), and browse transforming results by IE browser. In the paper, we expressed spatial metadata with XML and used XSLT technology, then realized spatial metadata transformations by defining relevant XSL files and visualization by IE browser.
