| Elements | Definition and Recommended Practice | Examples |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | metadataIdentifier | 0..* | Code that uniquely identifies this metadata record, assigned and maintained by the custodian of the metadata record. Recommended Practice: value of identifier is usually the same as the name of the metadata file - for example C00500.xml. There are two general approaches to ensuring uniqueness for these identifiers: 1. use a universal unique identifier (UUID), to distinguish it from other resources. 2. Include a namespace and a code guarenteed to be unique in that namespace in the identifier. For example: gov.noaa.class:AERO100. In this case gov.noaa.class is a namespace and AERO100 is a code guaranteed to be unique in that namespace | Example is needed |
| 2 | defaultLocale | 0..* | Default language, country of origin and characterSet used in metadata. Locale is mandatory when more than one language is used in free text descriptions | Example is needed |
| 9 | alternativeMetadataReference | 0..* | Citation to alternative metadata for the resource. | Example is needed |
| 10 | otherLocale | 0..* | Alternative language, country of origin and characterSet used in metadata. | Example is needed |
| 11 | metadataLinkage | 0..* | Online location information for the metadata. | Example is needed |
| 3 | parentMetadata | 0..* | Citation to a parent level metadata record | Example is needed |
| 4 | metadataScope | 0..* | Scope of resource to which the metadata applies. Now includes an MD_ScopeCode and a name for a hierarchy level. Repeat if more than one scope is applicable to this metadata description. | Example is needed |
| 5 | contact | 1..* | Individual and/or organization responsible for metadata creation and maintenance. Use roleCode="pointOfContact". Provide contact details, such address, phone and email. | Example is needed |
| 6 | dateInfo | 1..* | Date of last metadata update. Highly recommend revisiting the metadata content annually to ensure that all the information is still relevant. Use ISO 8601 extended format: YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS. | Example is needed |
| 7 | metadataStandard | 0..* | Citation of the metadata standard used. | Example is needed |
| 8 | metadataProfile | 0..* | Citation of the profile(s) of the metadata standard used. | Example is needed |
