Coverage Description

The following metadata elements are only applicable to coverage data.

Identifier	Title / Description	Value Domain	Card	Condition	Metadata classes	Guidelines	Example
RCGRSPREP [DMF/Data]	Spatial Representation of a Georectified Gridded Coverage The spatial representation of the grid provides the parameters needed to compute the location of any cell of a georectified grid.	Georectified Grid Spatial Representation	0..1	When the coverage is a georectified grid.	DMF/Data extends DMF/Common for data related resources (i.e. dataset, series and tile). DMF/Data adds metadata elements for evaluation and use.
RFGRSPREP [DMF/Sensor]	Spatial Representation of a Georeferenceable Gridded Coverage The spatial representation of the grid provides the parameters needed to georeference the cell of the grid.	Georeferenceable Grid Spatial Representation	0..1	When the coverage is a georeferenceable grid.	A DMF/Sensor class extending DMF/Data for sensors.
GRCINF [DMF/Data+]	Content Information of the Coverage Describes the coverage content.	Coverage Content Information	0..1		DMF/Data+ extends DMF/Data for the implementation of coverage quality results and other metadata elements introduced in ISO 19115-2 but having some applications for any geospatial product.
ASSOC [DMF/Sensor]	Image Association Type Mentions association (pair, triplet, n-uplet) for Optical imagery data.	Imagery Association Codelist	0..1		A DMF/Sensor class extending DMF/Data for sensors.
SPECTMOD [DMF/Sensor]	Spectral Mode Mentions the spectral mode used (panchromatic, multi or hyper spectral)	Spectral Mode Information Codelist	0..1		A DMF/Sensor class extending DMF/Data for sensors.

DMF/Core	DMF/Core defines the minimum set of metadata elements to be implemented by any metadata catalogue. This set satisfies the discovery use case.
DMF/Common	DMF/Common is an additional set of metadata elements for a more complete description of any type of resource supported by DMF. It extends DMF/Core and covers discovery and basic evaluation use cases.
DMF/Data	DMF/Data extends DMF/Common for data related resources (i.e. dataset, series and tile). DMF/Data adds metadata elements for evaluation and use.
DMF/Data+	DMF/Data+ extends DMF/Data for the implementation of coverage quality results and other metadata elements introduced in ISO 19115-2 but having some applications for any geospatial product.
DMF/Sensor	A DMF/Sensor class extending DMF/Data for sensors.
