Required Incoming Metadata
- Natalie Lennard
- AusSeabed
The required incoming metadata record has three levels as modelled below, with metadata values being inherited as it is collected left to right:
1 - Data Owner Metadata
At the time of writing, data owner metadata is contained within the survey metadata profile. In the future, AusSeabed will be providing a services that allows the data owner to profile the owning organisations details initially, and simply supplementing it at the survey level (eg supplementing with additional lead scientists or authors).
