Information to uniquely identify the data or service.
Identification information is mandatory
and includes information about the citation for the resource, an abstract, the purpose,
credit, the status and points of contact. Identification may be specialized as
data identification when used
to identify data, or as service
identification when used to identify a service.
Metadata object are described in the OpenGIS® Metadata (Topic 11) specification. The following table shows the class hierarchy, together with a partial view of aggregation hierarchy:

More specifically, Identification
is an aggregate of the following entities:
Format
(from the distribution package): format of the data.BrowseGraphic
: graphic overview of the data.Usage
: specific uses of the data.Constraints
(from the constraint package): constraints placed on the resource.Keywords
: keywords describing the resource.MaintenanceInformation
(from the maintenance package): how often the data is scheduled to be updated and the scope of the update.
