This report identifies ISO metadata elements that support the Open Geospatial Consortium
Catalog Services for the Web (CSW) Specification. The elements are listed in three
groups: Core Queryables, Core Returnables, and Additional Queryables. The Rubric at
the top of the report summarizes the results. Each spiral is represented by a
row in the rubric. The columns show the % of the elements in that spiral that exist
in the record. Click the spiral name for more details. This report is produced using
this stylesheet. Please contact Ted Habermann if you have questions or suggestions.
The Open Geospatial Consortium Catalog Services for the Web (CSW) standard defines
12 "Core Queryables" that must be supported in any compliant implementation. Profiles
of CSW map these queryables to concepts and xPaths for particular metadata dialects.
