Extent Documentation

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)


I need to define the spatial, temporal, and vertical extents of resources associated with my metadata.


Overview

This basic extent information supports spatial/temporal searches that are increasingly important as the number of map based search interfaces increases. Many of the attributes included in this spiral can be calculated from the data if the file is compliant with the NetCDF Climate and Forecast (CF) Metadata Convention. Describes a simple latitude, longitude, vertical and temporal bounding box. For a more detailed geospatial coverage, see the suggested geospatial attributes. Further refinement of the geospatial bounding box can be provided by using these units and resolution attributes. Many of these extent attributes are calculated using the CF-Conventions.

The ISO EX_Extent object is used to describe the spatial, temporal and vertical extent of resources, responsibilities, processing, quality reports, or maintenance.

The EX_Extent object supports multiple geographic and temporal extents within a single object.  This capability is quite useful for describing datasets created from observations collected at different locations and times.  For example, a dataset that includes observations collected at different locations each field season.


Bounding Extent. The ISO metadata standards allow multiple extents to be associated with a resource. This capability can be very important as spatial and temporal observatory deployments become more complex. Many metadata tools require a single bounding extent in order to support simple spatial and temporal discovery. In order to easily and unambiguously identify the bounding extent for a resource, we recommend identifying it with an xml id = 'boundingExtent'. |- | ISO 19115/*/gmd:identificationInfo/*/gmd:extent/{color:#000000}gmd:EX_Extent[[@id='boundingExtent{color:#21DA7}']]{color}{color} |- | ISO 19115-1 | //mdb:identificationInfo//mri:extent/mex:EX_Extent@id='boundingExtent'

Two-Dimensional Tiling Systems. Several NASA metadata standards include the capability to describe spatial extents of resources using two-dimensional tiling systems. The tile numbers in these systems are standard geographic identifiers that can be used to improve performance of spatial searches. MENDS recommended syntax for these tile identifiers in ISO.


ISO 19115 combines spatial and temporal extents into a single object, called an EX_Extent, that includes temporal, vertical, and geographic extents. The temporal and vertical extents are simple descriptions of temporal or vertical ranges. The geographic extent can be described in three ways.

The first option is a simple bounding box for recording the north, south, east and west bounding coordinates.

The second option generalizes the bounding box to a bounding polygon. This covers a large number of cases which might involve natural shapes, such as watersheds, or political shapes, like county forecast zones, rather than rectangles.

The final option allows specification of an identifier of a geographic region. This identifier includes a namespace and a name, and allows the use of named spatial objects, like counties, to describe spatial extents.

Revisions


The revision of 19115 adds extents to:

  1. CI_ResponsibleParty to describe spatial/temporal extents of responsibilities.
  2. MD_Constraints to describe spatial/temporal extents of constraints.

ISO 19115-1 introduces the capability for data providers to document the temporal resolution of the metadata resource using an ISO 8601-compliant string.
