Resource Title
This is a characteristic and often a unique name by which the resource is known.
Default value is “To be determined” but it is strongly recommended to find a better and proper title for the resource.
Recommendations:
• Include an indication on the geographic area covered by the data
• Include the version of the data if several versions are available
• Avoid any reference to a responsible party
• Avoid acronyms or define them (either in the title or in the abstract).
Example: “50K single product made from MGCP data on Mali”

Resource Abstract
This is a brief textual summary of the content of the resource.
Default value is “To be determined” but it is strongly recommended to find a better and proper abstract for the resource.
Recommendations:
• The abstract should include human-readable information to explain the product specificity.
Example: This product provides a rapid mapping from MGCP (Multinational Geospatial Coproduction Program) data focusing on Mali.
