Managing metadata using open data standards - overview of Colectica software solutions

Colectica provides modernised, sustainable solutions that manage a broad range of documentation / metadata while leveraging open data standards. Solutions include: a full metadata editor; a repository to centralize and store your metadata, a web portal to browse and interact with the data, a structured survey/questionnaire specification editor, and a software developer kit to extend or customize the tools to your needs.

Managing metadata using open data standards and a full metadata editor - Colectica Designer

Colectica Designer is a powerful desktop tool providing you full metadata editor capabilities, allowing you to create, ingest, edit and enrich the documentation of statistical and survey content. This yields well organized, richer information that is machine-actionable and much more useful, enabling you to produce or publish its documentation in multiple formats and outputs. Its intuitive user-friendly interface guides you to structure that documentation according to open data standards per the DDI metadata model.

Managing metadata using open data standards, a repository, and portal - Colectica Repository+Portal

The Colectica Repository+Portal work together as server applications, with the Repository acting as an authoritative central storage of metadata, populated via publishing from any of the Colectica desktop tools. It is the backbone of the Colectica platform, leveraging the open data standards format, making it the ideal solution for centralizing and organizing your multiple, complex and scattered data sources. The Portal is the web frontend powered by the Repository’s data; it's where internal or public users can browse or search all the information in the repository and interact with that information in multiple ways.
