I'll start. Natural Resources Canada provides the geospatial metadata we've been talking about. That's the data about the data we have and the documentation relative to it in both official languages, compliant with the Treasury Board guidelines and policy.
Natural Resources Canada also provides the ability for Canadians to search, discover, and access our geospatial data in the language of their choice. NRCan has worked with Treasury Board to implement what is called ISO standard 19115, which is mandatory for federal departments by 2014.
The difference, once you get down to geodata, is that geodata is alphanumerics. It's numbers and letters. That is raw data that is not accessible to either language. The computer expert at the end of the table would say it's computer language.
