Identification

The following metadata elements are applicable to all resources

Identifier	Title / Description	Value Domain	Card
RSTITLE [DMF/Core]	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”	Free Text Default is To be determined	1
RSALT [DMF/Common]	Resource Alternate Title This is a short name, a more colloquial name or a name in another language by which the resource is known.	Free Text	0..1
RSABSTR [DMF/Core]	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.	Free Text Default is To be determined	1
RSPURP [DMF/Core]	Resource Purpose This is a summary of the intentions with which the resource was developed.	Free Text	0..1
RSTYPE [DMF/Core]	Resource Type Code This is the type code of the resource described by the metadata: resources listed in the codelist are the only types of resources in the scope of DMF.	Resource Type Codelist Default is dataset	1
RSTYPN [DMF/Core]	Resource Type Name This is the type name of the resource described by the metadata. Constraints: * RSTYPN value shall differ from RSTYPE when it is set, in order to provide a more comprehensive name for the type of resource. RSTYPN should be documented if RSTYPE not equal to dataset	Free Text	0..1
RSED [DMF/Core]	Resource Edition This is the version identifier of the resource.	String	0..1
RSEDDAT [DMF/Core]	Resource Edition Date This is the reference date of this edition of the resource (see RSED).	Date or DateTime	0..1
RSID [DMF/Core]	Resource Identifier This is a value uniquely identifying the resource within a specific context. It is highly recommended to provide at least a unique identifier code value (i.e., a code independent of any namespace).	Identifier	0..*
RSKWDS [DMF/Core]	Resource Keyword Set Set of keywords used to describe the resource.	Controlled Vocabulary	0..*
THUMB [DMF/Core]	Resource Thumbnail Link access to the thumbnail of the resource.	URI URL or File Path	0..1
GPHICS [DMF/Common]	Resource Graphics Sample, overview or other illustration of the resource. Constraints: * One value of the following values should be used for GPHICS.description: 'Overview' (overall illustration for the resource), 'Sample' (representative extract of the resource, illustrating data density), 'Legend' (legend for the resource) or 'TilingScheme' (partitioning of the space).	Browse Graphic	0..*
RSSRES [DMF/Core]	Resource Spatial Resolution Factor which provides a general understanding of the density of spatial data in the resource or describes the range of resolution in which a digital resource may be used. NOTE: this element should be repeated when describing the upper and lower range. It is not applicable to non-geo data. Constraints: * One instance of Resolution containing a horizontal ground sample distance is mandatory for the sensor class.	Resolution	0..*
RSTRES [DMF/Common]	Resource Temporal Resolution Smallest resolvable temporal period in a resource.	Interval Length	0..*
RSRPTP [DMF/Core]	Resource Spatial Representation Type This describes the method used to spatially represent geographic information. Note: Not applicable to analogue data.	Spatial Representation Type Codelist	0..1
RSTOPIC [DMF/Core]	Resource Topic Category The topic category is a high-level classification scheme to assist in the grouping and topic-based search of available spatial data resources. Note: There is no specific topic category defined for topographic dataset and series. The best match is imageryBaseMapsEarthCover code. Constraints: * Mandatory if RSTYPE equal to dataset or series	Topic Category Enumeration Default is imageryBaseMapsEarthCover	0..*
