[AS1]1Will be automatically given by file name that this data sheet is saved.
[AS2]
Dataset name should be descriptive enough so that when a user is presented with a long list of titles, the user can determine the general content of the data set In order to make titles descriptive, important elements about the data may be included in the title, i.e., parameters measured, geographic location, instrument, investigator, project, temporal coverage For readability, capitalization of the title should follow standard constructs. Do not use all capital letters or all lower case letters, but use the appropriate case where applicable.
Example:
Hourly Tidal Observations from the Coast of China, 1942-1986
1
[AS3]1Name of the organization(s) or individual(s) with primary intellectual responsibility for the data set's development
[AS4]1Generalized kind of measurement in the data set to be used for searching of data by users.
[AS5]1Names and countries of places where data were collected which may be used for searching (as many as necessary separated by comma)
[AS6]1Geographic coverage (horizontal and vertical) of the data
[AS7]11Minimum and maximum latitude and longitude that bound the study area as degree and decimal point of degree and indication of hemisphere without space in between, for examples, 12.45N or 117.3E
[AS8]1Minimum and maximum horizontal distances between two adjacent data points (specify unit such as m, km, degree), for example, 0.025 degree
[AS9]1Minimum and maximum vertical altitudes or depths of the data relative to sea level (specify unit such as m, bar, hPa)
[AS10]1Minimum and maximum vertical distances between two adjacent data points (specify unit such as m, bar)
[AS11]1First and last dates represented by the data in yyy-mm-dd
[AS12]1Minimum and maximum time intervals between subsequent samplings (specify unit such as hour, day, year)
[AS13]1Any other keywords or phrases that are not in location or parameter fields above but could assist users to identify or locate this dataset. May input as many words/phrases as necessary separated by comma.
[AS14]1Brief information about quality procedures and level reliability of the data.
[AS15]1A brief description of the data source and processing steps used to produce the data set, including quality control/assurance mechanisms
[AS16]1A brief assessment of the horizontal and vertical closeness of the location of spatial objects in the data set in relation to their true position, if possible indicate quantitatively, for example vertical precision +/- 5 m, horizontal precision +/- 10 km.
[AS17]1A brief assessment of the reliability of the data in the data set in relation to their real values, for example nitrate concentration +/- 10%
[AS18]1A brief assessment of the completeness of coverage, classification and verification.
[AS19]1A brief description on any recognition or uses or certification of this data set by scientific community or operational agencies
[AS20]1Any known errors, inconsistencies, etc. in this dataset
[AS21]1The production status of the data set
[AS22]1A brief description of the data set, descriptive enough to allow potential users of the data set to determine if the data set is useful for their needs. Should start with a topic sentence, describing what information is in the data set. Often, this is some measurable quantity or quantities, such as sea surface temperature, human population density, or species morbidity rate. The total length could consist of approximately 30 lines. Should restate information that may be found in other fields if that information is vital to the understanding of the data set (i.e., parameters, spatial coverage). Should attribute the source information if the summary was abstracted from an existing document. Single space with blank lines separating paragraphs Standard elements of style only Capitalization should follow standard constructs. For readability, do not use all capital letters or all lower case letters, but use the appropriate case where applicable. No right justification Acronyms should be expanded to provide understanding. May contain tabular information Hyperlinked URLs may be imbedded in the text by surrounding them in single or double quotes: Where applicable, should include brief statements of the following important information: Data processing information (gridded, binned, swath, raw, algorithms used, necessary ancillary data sets); Date available (include only if not available at time of writing); Dataset organization (description of how data are organized within and by file); Read software (if available); Methodology or analytical tools; Time gaps in data set coverage; Units and unit resolution; Similarities and differences of these data to other closely-related data sets; Other pertinent information.
