Data format

Name Data format
Definition Format for the source data transfer. 
Obligation
  • dataset or dataset series: mandatory 
  • service: not applicable.
Multiplicity [1..*]
Example Ime formata: Addresses GML Application Schema
Verzija: 3.0
Specifikacija: D2.8.I.5 Data Specification on Addresses – Technical Guidelines 
Ime formata: Esri Shapefile
Verzija: nepoznato
This metadata element specifies the data transfer format. It is defined at least by the name and version of the format. The name of the format can also be expressed by encoding the value of the data format from the INSPIRE Registry of the code list format. If the format version is not known or format versioning is not applied, the value is set to "unknown" when the version is not known, or "not applicable" when format versioning is not applied.

Implementation instructions  Information on the encoding or storage format or transmission of the dataset or dataset series must be documented. They are documented using one or more instances of the gmd:distributionFormat/gmd:MD_Format element. Each instance of the gmd:MD_Format element must contain at least the name in the gmd:name and the version of the format in the gmd:version element. Both elements (gmd:name and gmd:version) should contain free text elements (gmx:Anchor or CharacterString).
