ISO Coverage Description

Coverage Description

Each Coverage Description is implemented through a single instance of gmi:MI_CoverageDescription or one of its subclasses.

Its property instances are described below:

+ attributeDescription[1]:RecordType		Record See Note 1
+ href[1]:CharacterString		urn:dgiwg:xmlns:dmf:1.0:iso-g1:egco:Record See Note 2
+ attributeGroup[1]:MD_AttributeGroup
+ contentType[1]:MD_CoverageContentTypeCode		contentType
+ groupAttribute[0..*]:MI_Band		range (for each)
+ sequenceIdentifier[1]:MemberName
+ aName[1]:CharacterString		identifier
+ attributeType[1]:CharacterString		type
+ description[0..1]:CharacterString		descriptor
+ maxValue[0..1]:Real		maxValue
+ minValue[0..1]:Real		minValue
+ units[0..1]:UomLength		units
+ bitsPerValue[0..1]:Integer		bitsPerValue
+ transmittedPolarisation[0..1]:MI_PolarisationOrientationCode		transPolarisation
+ detectedPolarisation[0..1]:MI_PolarisationOrientationCode		detPolarisation
+ rangeElementDescription[0..*]:MI_RangeElementDescription		specialCell
+ name[1]:CharacterString		name
+ definition[1]:CharacterString		definition
+ rangeElement[1..*]:Record		cellValue
Notes:
1.	DMF defines a default data type for the implementation of ISO Records: egco:Record. This ISO metadata element is by default referring to this default data type. This reference has no impact on the metadata class as long as there are no special cells in the description of the coverage.
2.	xlink:href is instantiated as an XML attribute
