Rubric Content Spiral

Describing the content of a resource is critical for supporting parameter searches and for unambigupusly identifying resources that include identical parameters.

Crosswalks

Concept Description Paths
Coverage Content Type An item from a shared vocabulary of content types: image, thematicClassification, physicalMeasurement, auxiliaryInformation, qualityInformation, referenceInformation, modelResult ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:contentType/gmd:MD_CoverageContentTypeCode
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@name=coverage_content_type]/@value
Parameter Name The name of a parameter included in the resource. ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:sequenceIdentifier/gco:MemberName/gco:aName/gco:CharacterString
ISO-1 /mai:MI_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mai:MI_CoverageDescription/rco:attributeGroup/rco:MD_AttributeGroup/rco:attribute/rco:MD_SampleDimension/rco:sequenceIdentifier/gco:MemberName/gco:aName/gco:CharacterString
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/@name
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@name='long_name']/@value
Parameter Name (Standard) The standard name of a parameter included in the resource. ISO-1 /*/mdb:contentInfo/mai:MI_CoverageDescription/rco:attributeGroup/rco:MD_AttributeGroup/rco:attribute/rco:MD_SampleDimension/rco:name/cit:MD_Identifier/cit:code
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@name='standard_name']/@value
Parameter Definition The definition of a parameter included in the resource. ISO /gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:descriptor/gco:CharacterString
ISO-1 /mai:MI_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mai:MI_CoverageDescription/rco:attributeGroup/rco:MD_AttributeGroup/rco:attribute/rco:MD_SampleDimension/rco:description/gco:CharacterString
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@name='description']/@value
Parameter Units The units of a parameter included in the resource. ISO /gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:units
ISO-1 /mai:MI_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mai:MI_CoverageDescription/rco:attributeGroup/rco:MD_AttributeGroup/rco:attribute/rco:MD_SampleDimension/rco:units
netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@name='units']/@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.
