CS Field Comparison Matrix

Note: This version of the Matrix is an initial attempt to relate the fields among metadata content standards and XML schema. Relationships among FGDC and DIF have been briefly reviewed, but other relationships have not been reviewed.

Web Tip: Reducing font size (Control-minus or Command-minus) may improve layout.

This matrix does not represent an official product or position of the IOOS DMAC Metadata Expert Team.

Date of latest revision: June 20, 2007

Color Key: Heading only; Mandatory field

Data Types (Not yet started. Are these the right types?)

Note: Added placeholders for fields that don't relate at bottom.

I-R Must-have metadata
I-D Discovery
I-C Use / utility - data consumer
I-M Use / utility - data manager
I-A Access
I-T Transport
I-S Archive

T-G Grids/raster
T-P Single dimensional, point
T-V Moving/vector?
T-T Traditional??
T-O Observation data
T-M Model data

FGDC Notes: (field numbers are for reference only)
[RS] Remote Sensing extension
[B] Biological profile
[S] Shoreline profile

Status: DIF to FGDC complete, still need to include DIF to ISO. Last update: 02/17/06

Status: Initial "crosswalk" complete, needs to be checked.

Status: In progress through "year collected." Relate to ent & attr?

Status: Initial "crosswalk" complete. Need to look up fieldname.

Status: Very early attempt. Not much thought given.

Note: Can netCDF be related to FGDC entities and attributes?

Status: In progress. Note: WMO is implemented using ISO DIS 19115

Status: Not yet begun. Note: ISO Archiving Standard added at request of Archive Expert team.

Status: Initial crosswalk complete? Last update: 02/17.06

Status: Not yet begun. Note: Describes data processing chains
