Abstract
Sequoia 2000 schema development is based on emerging geospatial standards to accelerate development and facilitate data exchange. This paper focuses on the metadata schema for digital satellite images. We examine how satellite metadata are defined, used, and maintained. We discuss the geospatial standards we are using, and describe a SQL prototype that is based on the Spatial Archive and Interchange Format (SAIF) standard and implemented in the Illustra object-relational database.
