Generic user defined classification scheme @@@Meant as a simple extension mechanism for lists given as an enumeration. Applications are not guaranteed to be able to parse this list, or even resolve it. But if they can, it is required that that searches and comparisons and other TAPIR stuff against these and the original enumeration should work...
This must result in the production of a list in some form whose elements can be compared to
Metadata referring to the principal source of the entire data collection (thus the metadata scope may be wider than the objects actually contained in the data set). If a history of the data collection (revised or expanded in various projects or at different institutions) exist, this must be reflected in the IPR statements and possibly in the list of Owners.
Dublin Core conformant elements describing the content of the data source queried, representation in different languages possible
The description in a specified language. Only one representation should be delivered for each language. [ATTR: language]
The URI of an icon/logo symbolizing the project.
Keyword lists of geographical, taxonomic, etc. scopes. In the case of projects in progress, 'scope' may define the planned or intended, rather than the achieved scope (or coverage). If scope is given, the content available should be entirely within scope, because this item is for resource discovery purposes. Compare also Coverage in DC.Description (which is language-specific). (Items from Scope may be added to DC.Coverage)@@@###needs work
A collection of terms describing the geoecological scope of the source queried by means of area names (e.g. 'Worldl', 'Germany', 'Atlantic Ocean', 'Andes', 'Mountains'. A list of recommended terms should be developed.
A collection of taxon names of higher rank describing the taxonomic scope of the source queried. A list of recommended terms should be developed.
Number and date of current version (particularly for citing purposes)
The major version number ('1' in 1.2) as defined by the content creators.
An optional minor version number ('2' in 1.2)
Unconstrained text specifying status + optional number, e. g., 'beta', 'alpha', 'rc/release candidate', 'internal'. If missing, release status is assumed.
Source for Dublin-Core standard element Date.Issued: Citable 'publication date' of the current version (comp. RevisionData/DateCreated and DateModified for version- independent dates). This date should be missing if the current version is not yet published!
Creators, Revision status, and dates of the entire data collection from which the current dataset is derived.
