Zusammenfassung:

Catalogues have been discussed for centuries in libraries and it is generally accepted that finding relevant books in any science without a well organised catalogue is almost impossible. Nowadays the idea of a library with its catalogue entries is transported to all kinds of data, including books, maps, geographic layers, models. The correspondence to the catalogue entries are metadata, i.e. descriptions of the data. In this paper we present the general idea of cataloguing data electronically making them this way searchable for a broader audience. Additionally we present briefly three metadata system for coastal areas developed within the last four years, namely CoastBase, EUROSION and NOKIS.
