RSTITLE

[DMF/Core]

This is a characteristic and often a unique name by which the resource is known.

Default is To be determined

For WebServices: RSTITLE should be equal to name in the capabilities

A service name/title should be included in the data product specification if a service distribution is foreseen for the product

For dataset or series:ProductName_MapSeries_SheetNumber_edition

ASRP_JOG_1501-A_NK-32-03_01-GSGS

RSALT

[DMF/Common]

This is a short name, a more colloquial name or a name in another language by which the resource is known.

For webservices: RSALT for webservice should be used if more information needed (eg. series served by the service, purpose of the service, etc.)

For Hard copy maps: RSALT Could be used to mention:

Title of the map as it is

For datasets and series: Ex: SAC_M5219A/Sheet2-SouthEastEngland  

RSABSTR

[DMF/Core]

This is a brief textual summary of the content of the resource.

Default is To be determined

The abstract should include human-readable information to explain the product specificity. It can be used for research purposes (give an overview of the content), providing definitions or a general understanding of what the data is. 

Default value is “To be determined” but it is strongly recommended to find a better and proper abstract for the resource.

Recommendations:

• Address all levels of understanding in the abstract for the different users

• 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). 

• Use generated values :

Based on fixed on fixed values (in a register for example)

Abstract examples:  

"Air Information: Airfield limits; radio aids; isogonals; full graticule at 15' interval with ticks at 1' interval; Maximum Terrain Elevations/Maximum Elevation Figures; vertical obstructions above 200 feet; restricted airspace; powerlines. Base information: International and administrative boundaries; relief by contours (interval varies), layer tints, hillshading, surface features, elevations in feet; towns classified by population and importance, settlements by built-up area or building symbols; roads classified by surface, width and weatherability, route markers, tracks, trails; railways classified by gauge/number of tracks; vegetation, cultivation; water and coastal features; glossary; bilingual legend on some sheets."  

"This set of products provides level U near-infrared and colored orthorectified mosaic made from Pleiades satellite(s) images focusing on People's Democratic Republic of Algeria and Republic of Mali."  

"A matrix of heighted data points representing the Earth’s topographic surface in a regular mesh pattern of horizontal and vertical coordinates."  

"The orthorectified scenes were processed by Mapping and Charting Establishment - Department of National Defence - Canada."

"Multinational Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) dataset covering the 1°×1° degree cell between 3 and 4 longitudes and 6 and 7 latitudes."
