This section reviews every single metadata element of the EEA profile. They feature here below following the order in which they appear in the file attachment:"xxx" which is compliant with the EEA metadata profile v2.0. This metadata refers to a dataset containing the xxx. Please note that a few conditional elements may not however appear in this file.

Not all the metadata elements in the profile are supposed to be edited by the data stewards - as indicated in the corresponding section, a few are to be edited by the SDI Team and some are automatically generated by (any) metadata editor tool.

  *Conditional*: only for those datasets which belong to a dataset series or are a subset from another dataset existing in the SDI

135

h4. Important notes

136

137

** This metadata element allows the logical link between a dataset metadata and the metadata of a dataset of which the former is a subset (e.g. datasets within a series, public versions which are subsets of internal versions without restricted data).

138

** A dataset series is defined as a collection of datasets which share the same product specification.

139

** This element should be added whenever the related series or a parent resource has a metadata record in the EEA catalogue SDI.

140

** The parent identifier value will be edited manually by the SDI Team. The Metadata editor should however inform the SDI Team of the existence of a dataset series or parent resource to which the new metadata should be linked to.

141

** _This metadata element requires *editing by the SDI Team*._

** When there is not any EPSG code to describe a CRS, the CRS shall be described in the metadata. Contact the SDI Team for further details.

373

** In this example, the EPSG code used is _3035_ (@urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:7.1:@*@3035@*) which corresponds to a Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area 52N 10E projection based on ETRS89 datum.

** In general, titles need to be self-explanatory and should not contain acronyms unless they are widely known. In any case, should an acronym be used in the title, it shall be made explicit in the abstract. For datasets which have regular updates, the version number and the dataset creation date shall be added at the end of the title. The public or internal nature of the dataset should also be reflected in the title. More details about the recommended title convention [[Naming_conventions|here]].

			<gco:CharacterString>The Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA) is more commonly known as Nationally designated areas. It is the official source of protected area information from European countries to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA).

603

The inventory began in 1995 under the CORINE programme of the European Commission. It is now one of the agreed Eionet priority data flows maintained by EEA with support from the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity.

604

The CDDA data can be queried online in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS).

Geographical coverage of GIS vector boundary data: Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo under UNSC Resolution 1244/99, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

606

EEA does not have permission to distribute some or all sites reported by Estonia, Ireland, Romania and Turkey.When re-using the data, copyright is to be mentioned specifically for Estonia and for Finland: "Estonian Environmental Register 01.01.2017; "©Finnish Environment Institute, 2017".</gco:CharacterString>

** This element describes the status of the resource.

657

** The value of this element is established by the ISO19115 codelist MD_ProgressCode. The EEA metadata profile only considers the following values (including one from ISO19115-1):

658

**** completed: the production of the dataset has been completed (this is to be used only for those datasets produced in the context of specific projects)

659

**** historicalArchive: to be used only for those datasets stored in an offline storage facility (this is unlikely to happen in the context of the EEA SDI)

660

**** obsolete: only for those datasets which are no longer relevant (only kept for historical purposes)

661

**** superseded: dataset which has been replaced by a new one (this is to be used for datasets replaced by new versions)

1317

1318

** Temporal resolution is a metadata element introduced in the ISO 19115-1:2014 (Geographic Information -- Metadata -- Part 1: Fundamentals)

1319

** ISO 19115-1 refers to Temporal Resolution as the smallest resolvable temporal period in a resource. Springer defines temporal resolution as the amount of time needed to revisit and acquire data for the exact same location. When applied to remote sensing, this amount of time depends on the orbital characteristics of the sensor platform as well as sensor characteristics.

1320

** As the EEA Catalogue has not yet implemented the standard ISO 19115-1, the information will be provided as a keyword to be selected from an already existing ISO Codelist (MaintenanceFrequencyCode).

1321

** This element is to added only when datasets belong to a time series.

1322

** The example above is *not included* in the metadata file used in these guidelines.

1323

** _This metadata element *requires editing.*_

** These two elements refer to any use limitation and access constraints that the dataset may have. The _useLimitation_ element is free text, while the element _accessConstraints_ shall use a value from the MD_RestrictionCode codelist. The EEA metadata editor includes a list with the different values to select.

1371

** In the _useLimitation_ element and for datasets owned by EEA that can be freely distributed (default for EEA owned datasets) *the following text shall be used*: _"EEA standard re-use policy: unless otherwise indicated, re-use of content on the EEA website for commercial or non-commercial purposes is permitted free of charge, provided that the source is acknowledged (http://www.eea.europa.eu/legal/copyright). Copyright holder: European Environment Agency (EEA)."_

1372

** In the _accessConstraints_ element and for datasets owned by EEA that can be freely distributed (default for EEA owned datasets), the value that needs to be selected is _Other restrictions_. When this value is selected, it is necessary to fill in as well the conditional element _otherConstraints_ with the free text _no limitations_.

1373

** For datasets which are not owned by EEA but are distributed by EEA, contact the SDI Team.

1374

** For datasets which are protected by intellectual property rights (typically datasets acquired from external providers like Gisco), use the text _License_ under _useLimitation_, select _copyright_ from the list of _accessConstraints_ and the value of _license_ in the optional element _useConstraints_, as is detailed below:

** This metadata element allows the logical link between a dataset metadata and the metadata of a dataset with which the new resource is associated. While there are several association types, we are only going to consider the association type "RevisionOf" as defined in the codelist DS_AssociationTypeCode of ISO 19115-1. RevisionOf association describes the association of a resource with another resource of which the former is a revision.

1442

** This element should be added whenever the associated resource is available in the SDI.

1443

** While this association (with the corresponding UUID of the metadata) will be included by the SDI Team, it is recommended that during the registration the data steward points out to the dataset in the SDI which this resource is a revision of (this shall be naturally reflected with the dataset identifier "revision" component).

1444

** The example above is not included in the metadata file used in these guidelines.

** This is the actual geographic extent of the resource, represented by the minimum rectangle which encompasses all features in the dataset.

1694

** Coordinates are expressed in decimal degrees with positive east and north, with a precision of at least 2 decimals.

1695

** When rounding up decimal values, make sure to do it in such a way that the bounding box gets larger and not smaller:

1696

**** @westBoundLongitude = -33.90432@ rounded up to two decimals becomes @westBoundLongitude = -33.91@

1697

**** @westBoundLongitude = 3.4262@ rounded up to two decimals becomes @westBoundLongitude = 3.42@

1698

**** @eastBoundLongitude = 38.1471@ rounded up to two decimals becomes @eastBoundLongitude = 38.15@

1699

**** @eastBoundLongitude = -1.2156@ rounded up to two decimals becomes @eastBoundLongitude = -1.21@

1700

**** same principle apply by analogy for north and south latitudes.

1701

** The coordinates of the bounding boxes shall be expressed in any geodetic coordinate reference system with the Greenwich Prime Meridian.

1702

** For datasets including overseas territories, it is advised to split the overall geographic extend into several bounding boxes.

h4. Important notes

2153

2154

* Any dataset published in the EEA catalogue has to include at least a conformity statement with respect to the INSPIRE IR as regards interoperability of spatial datasets and services. The template provides already by default the values with whom to fill in the corresponding metadata elements: *title*, *date*, *explanation*:

2155

> The *title* of the specification should be: _"COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services"_

2156

> The *date* corresponding to this specification is: _"2010-12-08"_ with *dateType* _"publication"_

2157

> The *explanation* by default is: _See the referenced specification_

2158

2159

* Depending on whether the dataset has been evaluated or not, and if evaluated, whether is conformant or not to the INSPIRE IR, the element <gmd:pass> will have to be edited accordingly. The only possible values are:

2160

> *true* if conformant

2161

> *false* if non conformant

2162

> *unknown* if not evaluated (by default in the EEA template)

2163

2164

* If a dataset is produced or transformed according to an external specification that includes specific quality assurance procedures, the conformity with this specification should be documented using also this metadata element (although this is only optional in the EEA metadata profile).

2165

* The example above is not included in the metadata file used in these guidelines.

2166

* This metadata element requires *_editing_*.
