Citations in metadata provide important information about how users should cite the resource that is described by the metadata. These citations are an important part of the identification information and, as such, they are in a special location in the record. In addition, they can provide connection to relevant materials that can not be included in the metadata.

NASA GCMD Directory Interchange Format

The Directory interchange Format (DIF) includes a /dif:DIF/dif:Data_Set_Citation that is used to provide information about the resource described in the metadata and a /dif:DIF/dif:Reference for referencing other resources.

ISO

The ISO metadata standards include a generic cit:CI_Citation object that can be used to provide information about the resource described in the metadata at the path /*/gmd:identificationInfo/*/gmd:citation/gmd:CI_Citation and about other resources at many other paths.

xPath Note: The xPaths included in this table use several wildcards. // means any path, so //gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty indicates a gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty anywhere in an XML file. /*/ indicates a single level with several possible elements. This usually indicates one of several concrete realizations of an abstract object. For example /*/gmd:identificationInfo could be gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo or gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo and gmd:identificationInfo//*/gmd:descriptiveKeywords could be gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords or gmd:identificationInfo/srv:SV_ServiceIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords.
