The content standard contains seven categories of information:
1. Identification Information
2. Data Quality Information
3. Spatial Data Organization Information
4. Spatial Reference Information
5. Entity and Attribute Information
6. Distribution Information
7. Metadata Reference Information
Descriptive Metadata
The majority of the information needed to create a discovery metadata record
for an object within the Digital Library is contained within the Identification
Information category, however, the content of elements within the Data Quality
Information, Spatial Reference Information, Entity and Attribute Information,
and Distribution Information categories should be extracted when available.
1. Identification Information
The Identification Information category is subdivided into 14 sections. We
utilize 8 of the 14 sections.
1.1 Citation

of the standard.
