public enum ComplianceLevel extends Enum<ComplianceLevel>
Compliance level for elements. The international standards defines an extensive set of metadata elements. Typically only a subset of the full number of elements is used. However, it is essential that a basic minimum number of metadata elements be maintained for a dataset.

    • CORE

      public static final ComplianceLevel CORE
      Core metadata elements required to identify a dataset, typically for catalogue purposes. This level specifies metadata elements answering the following questions:

      • Does a dataset on a specific topic exist (what)?
      • For a specific place (where)?
      • For a specific date or period (when)?
      • A point of contact to learn more about or order the dataset (who)?

      Using the recommended optional elements in addition to the mandatory elements will increase inter-operability, allowing users to understand without ambiguity the geographic data and the related metadata provided by either the producer or the distributor.
