Documenting ISO-1 Metadata for Service Discovery

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)

This table contains the metadata elements recommended for the discovery of service resources. These elements are are identified in Table F.2 of the ISO 19115-1 specification. Each of the element names is followed by an abbreviation to indicate the element obligation and max occurrence. The obligation options include M for Mandatory, O for Optional, or C for Conditional. The occurrence options are 1 or N for any number.
