CI Citation for MD DataIdentification

Recommendations on how to use CI_Citation for a dataset or resource for which the scope of the metadata applies to (excluding publications)
Go to: CI_Citation for generic guidance on how to use this section.

Elements			Definition and Recommended Practice
1	title	1	Name by which the resource is known. Titles should be succinct yet descriptive including the topic, and where relevant, temporal info, geography and related programs. Spell out any acronyms.
2	alternateTitle	0..*	Short name or other language name by which the cited information is known.
3	date	1..*	Publication date identifies when the resource was issued and made publicly available. Creation date identifies when the resource was created or first date of data collection. Revision date identifies when the resource was changed. If the publication or creation date is "unknown" or "inapplicable" then use the gco:nilReason attribute instead of gco:Date. Whenever possible, also include both creation date and revision date.
4	edition	0..1	Current version of the cited resource.
5	editionDate (choose one) Date DateTime	0..1	Date or Date and Time of the version.
6	identifier	0..*	Unique identifier used to reference the data, such as a DOI. When the identifer has a permanent URL, then use the gmx:Anchor field instead of gco:CharacterString field.
7	citedResponsibleParty	0..*	Name and position information for an individual or organization that is responsible for the resource. Highly recommend providing individualName or organizationName of the originators and the publishers.
8	presentationForm	0..*	The physical or digital form in which the resource is available.
9	series	0..1	Information about the series or collection of which the resource is a part. Use MD_AggregateInformation section to provide full citation.
10	otherCitationDetails	0..1	Other information required to complete the citation that is not recorded elsewhere.
11	collectiveTitle	0..1	Information about the combined resource of which the dataset is a part. The description may include information on other volumes which are also available. Use MD_AggregateInformation section to provide full citation.
