Metadata required for Interoperability
The metadata describing a spatial data set shall include the following metadata elements required for interoperability:
Coordinate Reference System : Description of the coordinate reference system(s) used in the data set.
Description of the temporal reference system(s) used in the data set.
This element is mandatory only if the spatial data set contains temporal information that does not refer to the default temporal reference system.
Encoding : Description of the computer language construct(s) specifying the representation of data objects in a record, file, message, storage device or transmission channel.
Correctness of the explicitly encoded topological characteristics of the data set as described by the scope.
This element is mandatory only if the data set includes types from the Generic Network Model and does not assure centreline topology (connectivity of centrelines) for the network.
The character encoding used in the data set.
This element is mandatory only if an encoding is used that is not based on UTF-8.
Spatial Representation Type : The method used to spatially represent geographic information.
Article 14
Portrayal
For the portrayal of spatial data sets using a view network service as specified in Commission Regulation No 976/2009 (4), the following shall be available:
(a) the layers specified in Annex II for the theme or themes the data set is related to;
(b) for each layer at least a default portrayal style, with as a minimum an associated title and a unique identifier.
For each layer, Annex II defines the following:
(a) a human readable title of the layer to be used for display in user interface;
(b) the spatial object type(s), or sub-set thereof, that constitute(s) the content of the layer.
For spatial object types whose objects can be further classified using a code list-valued attribute, several layers may be defined. Each of these layers shall include the spatial objects corresponding to one specific code list value. In the definition of such sets of layers in Annexes II, III and IV, all of the following requirements shall be fulfilled:
(a) the placeholder shall represent the values of the relevant code list, with the first letter in upper case;
(b) the placeholder shall represent the human-readable name of the code list values;
(c) the spatial object type shall include the relevant attribute and code list, in parentheses;
(d) one example of a layer shall be given.

2. COMMON DATA TYPES
External unique object identifier published by the responsible body, which may be used by external applications to reference the spatial object.
| Attribute | Definition | Type | Voidability |
|---|---|---|---|
| localId | A local identifier, assigned by the data provider. The local identifier is unique within the namespace, that is no other spatial object carries the same unique identifier. | CharacterString | |
| namespace | Namespace uniquely identifying the data source of the spatial object. | CharacterString | |
| versionId | The identifier of the particular version of the spatial object, with a maximum length of 25 characters. If the specification of a spatial object type with an external object identifier includes life-cycle information, the version identifier is used to distinguish between the different versions of a spatial object. Within the set of all versions of a spatial object, the version identifier is unique. | CharacterString | voidable |
An organisation or a person with a role related to a resource.
| Attribute | Definition | Type | Voidability |
|---|---|---|---|
| individualName | Name of the related person. | PT_FreeText | voidable |
| organisationName | Name of the related organisation. | PT_FreeText | voidable |
| positionName | Position of the party in relation to a resource, such as head of department. | PT_FreeText | voidable |
| contact | Contact information for the related party. | Contact | voidable |
| role | Roles of the party in relation to a resource, such as owner. | PartyRoleValue | voidable |
At least the individual, organisation or position name shall be provided.
