Constraints on the use of the resource and metadata

Crosswalks

Concept Description Paths
Resource Access Constraints Information about any constraints for accessing the data set. This includes any special

restrictions, legal prerequisites, limitations and/or warnings on obtaining the data set. Some words that may be used in this field include: Public, In-house, Limited, Additional detailed instructions on how to access the data can be entered in this field.

Resource Use Constraints Information about how the data may or may not be used after access is granted to assure

the protection of privacy or intellectual property. This includes any special restrictions, legal prerequisites, terms and conditions, and/or limitations on using the data set. Data providers may request acknowledgement of the data from users and claim no responsibility for quality and completeness of data.
