Extensions to ISO19115 Codelists¶
Annex B of the ISO19115 standard contains the codelists used in the standard. The MCP extends some of these codelists. For each codelist extended in the MCP, this section of the manual describes:
- the original codes and definitions
- the new codes and definitions
CI_DateTypeCode (Annex B.5.2 in ISO19115)¶
No. | Name | Domain Code | Definition | New |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | CI_DateTypeCode | DateTypeCd | identification of when a given event occurred | |
2 | creation | 001 | date identifies when the resource was brought into existence | |
3 | publication | 002 | date identifies when the resource was issued | |
4 | revision | 003 | date identifies when the resource was examined or re-examined and improved or amended | |
5 | unknown | 004 | it is unknown what the date identifies |
Metadata about changes to this codelist¶
- Rationale: Sometimes it is unknown what the date refers to. Rather than pick an event at random, it is better to flag that it is unknown what event the date refers to.
- Proposer: AODCJF Technical Committee
- Date proposed: 2006
- Date confirmed by MCP Governance Committee: 2010
- Included in MCP Version: 1.2 onwards

17 | metadataContact | 016 | party who can be contacted about the metadata |
Metadata about changes to this codelist¶
This metadata relates to codes 12-17:
- Rationale: ISO19115 role codes do not fully describe the range of roles that were found when adding metadata about research projects. These 6 additional codes cover some of the most important omissions.
- Proposer: BlueNet Staff (Kate Roberts)
- Date proposed: 2010
- Date confirmed by MCP Governance Committee: 2010
- Included in MCP Version: 1.4 onwards
