Identification Information

ECHO

Unambiguously identifying the resource is an important step towards supporting access and citation in any metadata dialect. The ECHO Model includes the field CitationForExternalPublication which gives a citation for the dataset. In ISO the information for this citation is provided in the /gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo//gmd:citation class.
