Remote Sensing Extension to FGDC CSDGM

These extensions define content standards for additional metadata, not defined in the CSDGM Content Standard, that are needed to describe data obtained from remote sensing.

This extension includes metadata elements necessary to describe data obtained through remote sensing. The metadata elements include those describing the sensor, the platform, the method and process of deriving geospatial information from the raw telemetry, and the information needed to determine the geographical location of the remotely sensed data. Metadata elements to support aggregation are also supported.
