| Data resource must have a unique and easily identifiable title. In determining a resource title, the needs of potential users must be taken into consideration. The title must be informative and diminish the potential risk of mistaking one data resource for another. Generic search engines most often analyse the first record. It is therefore desirable for a resource title to clearly define spatial data and differentiate between similar search results. The use of acronyms and abbreviations is not recommended. It is recommended to use up to 250 characters. | |
