All actors have the opportunity to describe their geodata and services in the Geodata portal. By publishing these descriptions, it will be possible for users to search and find geodata and services. All actors who have published their descriptions in the Geodata portal are responsible for them and must keep them updated.

To publish descriptions of geodata and services in the Geodata portal, you need to follow the national metadata profile (pdf, new window) (edition 4 is not yet structurally decided) which enables the descriptions to be made in a uniform way.
