Content

Describing the content of a resource is critical for supporting parameter searches and for unambiguously identifying resources that include identical parameters.
ConceptDescriptionDialect (Fit) Paths
Coverage Content TypeThe coverage content type is an ISO codeList describing the general content type of the resource. The content types are: image, thematicClassification, physicalMeasurement, auxiliaryInformation, qualityInformation, referenceInformation, modelResultISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:contentType/gmd:MD_CoverageContentTypeCode
ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:contentType/mrc:MD_CoverageContentTypeCode
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='coverage_content_type']/@nc:value
Parameter NameThe name of a parameter included in the resource. Intended to be used by applications accessing a variable in a file.ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:sequenceIdentifier/gco:MemberName/gco:aName/gco:CharacterString
ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:attribute/mrc:MD_SampleDimension/mrc:sequenceIdentifier/gco:MemberName/gco:aName/gco:CharacterString
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/@name
Parameter Name (Long)The long name of a parameter included in the resource. Intended to be used as an axis lable in a plot.netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='long_name']/@nc:value
Parameter Name (Standard)The name of a parameter included in the resource from a standard vocabulary.ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:attribute/*/mrc:name/mcc:MD_Identifier/mcc:code/gco:CharacterString
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='standard_name']/@nc:value
Parameter DefinitionThe definition/description of a parameter included in the resource.ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:descriptor/gco:CharacterString
ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:attribute/*/mrc:description/gco:CharacterString
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='description']/@nc:value
Parameter UnitsThe units of a parameter included in the resource.ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:units
ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:attribute/mrc:MD_SampleDimension/mrc:units
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='units']/@nc:value

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.
