17. levels of a metadata sheet The data entry level relates to the number of elements and their characteristics used for describing a resource It corresponds to different levels of metadata usage In fact the information required to describe a resource depends on the purpose of the metadata usage For example for purposes of searching and locating resources information that is less detailed and less complete will suffice as compared to for documentation purposes which will need greater detail and completeness because resources will need to be distributed and transferred Thus for cataloging of resources which is the basis of searches for them simplified metadata could be sufficient These different contexts or levels of metadata usage can lead to the definition of several metadata detail levels The international standard defines two levels of details or conformity The first conformity level or basic level corresponds to the purposes of resource cataloging For this it proposes a set of mandatory elements or metadata core profile that consists of elements necessary to identify the resource and to provide a summary of its contents It can only be used for cataloging services and as a basis for metadata services designed for locating resources A second conformity level or complete level includes metadata elements necessary to fully document a resource This conformity level defines metadata elements necessary to identify evalu
18. metadata profile A profile or adaptation is a document or schema in the sense of a data structure that specifies the implementation options of a standard for a particular purpose In essence a profile does not contradict the standard to which it refers and does not introduce in principle new concepts Rather it describes the standard or a sub set of it so that it can be implemented and used in a particular context However elements that do not exist in the standard extended elements can be included in it These description elements will complement the standard and will be useful in the specific context in which the profile is going to be used In addition a profile of a standard allows an international standard to be adapted culturally or linguistically for a particular national or regional context Standard core A community can thus define profiles for particular types of data sets For example a profile for matrix or raster data sets will retain only those elements specific to this data type A profile can also manage certain specifics or rules that an organization may want to apply to metadata elements A profile for example could specify which elements are mandatory and which are optional in a metadata sheet Page 18 of 76 User Manual MDweb Administration MDweb includes 9 profiles as standard They correspond to 9 data types e Types of data series o Geographical database or geodatabase o Temporal databas
