ADVANCED ISO TOPICS Beyond the Basics

How do I change the default role value of a responsible party component? Ideally, you have a single component with a default role that you can “overwrite”. When you resolve the component, the specified role will override and replace the default component role value. Special Problem:

Example: The component: National Coastal Data Development Center (pointOfContact)"/> Has a default role of: pointOfContact

National Coastal Data Development Center"> originator Example:

How do I use ISO to document Services? Special Problem:

ISO Service Metadata use

How do I use ISO Feature Catalogue? Special Problem:

Content Information

FC_FeatureCatalogue

How do I document the Spatial Referencing? Special Problem:

ISO Spatial Referencing Use

Use citation and identifier to reference to external Use components to reference to external registries – EPSG – spatialreference.org ISO Spatial Referencing Use

Special Problem: How can I restrict an element with a free text domain to a set of defined terms? An anchor (gmx:Anchor) can be used as a substitute for a CharacterString when you want to restrict the free text to a controlled vocabulary. Example: Pearl Harbor, HI can be replaced by Pearl Harbor, HI This restricts the field to the controlled vocabulary located at and selects the term as defined.

Special Problem: The codeList values do not contain the information I need. How can I extend the codeLists? Creators can supply your own codeList anywhere in the Standard by pointing to a custom location instead of the standard location. Of course, this could cause interoperability problems, so it should not be done without careful consideration of the implications.

Special Problem: I have biological data that I need to document, how do I do that? Use the ISO 191** standards, document the extensions that you are using (metadata extension information) and use the extensions as needed.
