Comprehensive explorer of ISO 19115 and 19115-2 metadata standards. These pages show the correct order of the elements, links to child element/object, obligation, repeatability and references to more information and examples.

Elements |
Definition and Recommended Practice | Examples | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | metadataIdentifier | 0..1 | 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. | identifier: (MD_Identifier) code: C00500 codeSpace: gov.noaa.ncdc |
| 2 | defaultLocale | 0..* | Default language and characterSet used in metadata. Locale is mandatory when more than one language is used in free text descriptions.
|
|
| 3 | parentMetadata | 0..1 | Document a higher level metadata record if it exists. Provide full citation to parent. | |
| 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. | |
| 5 | contact | 1..* | Individual and/or organization responsible for metadata creation and maintenance. Use roleCode="pointOfContact". Provide contact details, such address, phone and email. | |
| 6 | dateStamp (choose one) | 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. | 2015-12-08 |
| 7 | metadataStandard | 0..* | Name of the metadata standard used. Use text in the example. | ISO 19115-2 Geographic Information - Metadata - Part 2: Extensions for Imagery and Gridded Data |
| 8 | metadataProfile | 0..* | Profile(s) of the metadata standard used. | ISO 19115-2:2009(E) |
| 9 | spatialRepresentationInfo | 0..* | Digital representation of spatial information in the dataset.
|
|
| 10 | referenceSystemInfo | 0..* | Identification of the horizontal projections, vertical datums and temporal reference systems used. Mandatory if spatialRepresentationType in dataIdentification is vector, grid, or tin
|
|
| 11 | metadataExtensionInfo | 0..* | Information describing metadata extensions. |
|
| 12 | identificationInfo |
1..* | Choose one and repeat identificationInfo if needed. |
|
| 13 | contentInfo | 0..* | Information about the feature catalogue, or descriptions of the coverage and the image data characteristics. |
|
| 14 | distributionInfo | 0..1 | Information about acquiring the resource |
|
| 15 | dataQualityInfo | 0..* | history and quality of the resource | |
| 16 | portrayalCatalogueInfo | 0..* | A portrayal catalogue is a collection of defined symbols used to depict humans, features on a map.
|
|
| 17 | metadataConstraints | 0..* | The limitations or constraints on the use of or access of the metadata. |
|
| 18 | applicationSchemaInfo | 0..* | Information about the conceptual schema of the dataset. |
|
| 19 | metadataMaintenance | 0..1 | 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. |
metadataMaintenance: (MD_MaintenanceInformation) maintenanceAndUpdateFrequency: (MD_MaintenanceFrequencyCode) annually dateOfNextUpdate: 2016-11-06 maintenanceNote: This record was automatically modified on 2015-11-05 to include references to NCEI where applicable. |
| 20 | acquisitionInformation | 0..* | Information about the platforms and instruments collecting the data. |
