| INSPIRE equivalent | Scope |

| Comparision with ISO | equivalent, but limited to spatial datasets, dataset series and services |
| XPath | level |
| Data type | MD_ScopeCode |
| Domain | MD_ScopeCode<<CodeList>> |
| Implementation instructions | The level to which the quality information relates, ie their scope, must be specified. Data quality must be expressed at the level of the entire data source. Therefore, it is documented using the gmd:scope/gmd:DQ_Scope/gmd:level/gmd:MD_ScopeCode element, in a way that it contains one of the following two values of the ISO 19139 MD_ScopeCode code list, depending on the type of resource:
