mdb:MD_Metadata
The root element of the ISO Metadata Standards contains information about the metadata and sections that contain other information.
| Elements | Domain | Definition and Recommended Practice | Examples | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | mdb:metadataIdentifier | 0..1 | mcc:MD_Identifier | Unique identifier for 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.
|
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 |
| 2 | mdb:defaultLocale | 0..1 | lan:PT_Locale | Default language, country of origin and characterSet used in metadata.
|
|
| 3 | mdb:parentMetadata | 0..1 | cit:CI_Citation | Citation to a parent level metadata record | |
| 4 | mdb:metadataScope | 0..* | mdb:MD_MetadataScope | 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. | |
| 5 | mdb:contact | 1..* | cit:CI_Responsibility | Individual and/or organization responsible for metadata creation and maintenance. Use roleCode="pointOfContact". Provide contact details, such address, phone and email. | |
| 6 | mdb:dateInfo | 1..* | cit:CI_Date | Date(s) associated with the metadata record. Highly recommend revisiting the metadata content annually to ensure that all the information is still relevant.
|
|
| 7 | mdb:metadataStandard | 0..* | cit:CI_Citation | Citation of the metadata standard used. | |
| 8 | mdb:metadataProfile | 0..* | cit:CI_Citation | Citation of the profile(s) of the metadata standard used. | |
| 9 | mdb:alternativeMetadataReference | 0..* | cit:CI_Citation | Citation to alternative metadata for the resource. | |
| 10 | mdb:otherLocale | 0..* | lan:PT_Locale | Alternative language, country of origin and characterSet used in metadata. | |
| 11 | mdb:metadataLinkage | 0..* | cit:CI_OnlineResource | Online location information for the metadata. | |
| 12 | mdb:spatialRepresentationInfo | 0..* | msr:MD_SpatialRepresentation | Spatial representation properties for Gridded datasets. | |
| 13 | mdb:referenceSystemInfo | 0..* | mrs:MD_ReferenceSystem | Identification of the horizontal projections, vertical datums and temporal reference systems used. Mandatory if spatialRepresentationType in dataIdentification is vector, grid, or tin. | |
| 14 | mdb:metadataExtensionInfo | 0..* | mex:MD_MetadataExtensionInformation | Description of extended metadata fields and structure. | |
| 15 | mdb:identificationInfo |
1..* | mri:MD_DataIdentification - or- srv:SV_ServiceIdentification | Choose one and repeat identificationInfo if needed. | |
| 16 | mdb:contentInfo | 0..* | mrc:MD_ContentInformation | information about the feature catalogue, or descriptions of the coverage and the image data characteristics. | |
| 17 | mdb:distributionInfo | 0..* | mrd:MD_Distribution | nformation about acquiring the resource. | |
| 18 | mdb:dataQualityInfo | 0..* | mdq:DQ_DataQuality (ISO 19157-2) | Data quality quality reporting for the resource. | |
| 19 | mdb:resourceLineage | 0..* | mrl:LI_Lineage | Data processing history (provenance) for the resource. | |
| 20 | mdb:portrayalCatalogueInfo | 0..* | mpc:MD_PortrayalCatalogue | A portrayal catalogue is a collection of defined symbols used to depict humans, features on a map. | |
| 21 | mdb:metadataConstraints | 0..* | mco:MD_Constraints | The limitations or constraints regarding the use and access of the metadata. | |
| 22 | mdb:applicationSchemaInfo | 0..* | mas:MD_ApplicationSchemaInformation | Information about the conceptual schema of the dataset. | |
| 23 | mdb:metadataMaintenance | 0..1 | mmi:MD_MaintenanceInformation | Document recent metadata record edits. When the metadata is generated automatically, use this section to document the source and transform tool in the maintenanceNote field. | |
| 24 | mdb:acquisitionInformation | 0..* | mac:MI_AcquisitionInformation | Information about the platforms and instruments collecting the data. | |
