Identification
The Identification Spiral sets the stage for discovery of the described resource using text search engines. It includes a unique identifier for the metadata, a title, an abstract, theme keywords and contact information for the metadata and the dataset. In many dialects citations to the described resource are used to provide important information about how users should cite the documented 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.
Crosswalks
| Concept | Description | Paths |
|---|---|---|
| Metadata Identifier | A unique reference to the record within the catalogue (Metadata Identifier) | DIF /dif:Entry_Id ISO /*/gmd:fileIdentifier/gco:CharacterString |
| Resource Title | A short description of the resource. The title should be descriptive enough so that
when a user is presented with a list of titles the general content of the data set can be determined. |

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.
