ISO-1 for Data Discovery - Mandatory

This spiral includes mandatory ISO 19115-1 attributes for data discovery. This list of attributes was obtained from table F.1 of the ISO 19115-1 Specification.

ISO-1 for Data Discovery - Conditional

This spiral includes conditional ISO 19115-1 attributes for data discovery. This list of attributes was obtained from table F.1 of the ISO 19115-1 Specification.

Source: ISO-1 Metadata for Data Discovery
ConceptDescriptionDialect (Fit) Paths
Resource LanguageThe language of the resource.DIF /dif:DIF/dif:Data_Set_Language

Resource TypeA resource code identifying the type of resource; e.g. dataset, a collection, an application (See MD_ScopeCode) for which the metadata describes.FGDC /fgdc:metadata/fgdc:distinfo/fgdc:resdesc

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. Fit: The fit of the dialect path with the concept is estimated on a scale of 1 = excellent two-way fit, 2 = one-way fit or some other problem, 3 - extension required.
