The CAGS Metadata Schema¶
Project level metadata¶
The Project-level Metadata level is related to the main CAGS interface website from which metadata are harvested through the online submission form. It collects metadata (derived and expended from Dublin Core metadata) which incorporates a number of descriptive and resource discovery focused elements describing either a scientific communication, a notebook and a dataset independently or jointly.

File-level geophysical metadata¶
The File-level Metadata level collector is a gui designed to help with the initial preparation of one geophysical dataset. Starting from one or multiple input directories, a cleanly structured output directory is generated (without deleting any input files). Generate suitable metadata from user input and write this metadata into the directory structure, making it ready for further distribution.

Table: report¶
Description:¶
Metadata describing general information about the contribution.
This table has overlapping field with project level metadata (see column CAGS Metadata level)
Columns:¶
| Column | Description | Multiplicity | Obligation | CAGS Metadata level | Dublin Core (ArchSearch) | INSPIRE Directive | Data type | Attributes | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Report_title | Sort title description of the dataset | [1] | Mandatory | File level | Unique | ||||

Table: survey¶
Description:¶
Metadata describing one to multiple survey(s).
The survey table is inspired from `Archaeology Data Service / Digital Antiquity
Guides to Good Practice <https://guides.archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/g2gp/Geophysics_6>`_
For multiple acquisitions the number n must be unchanged between the different fields. For example, if date of time of measurement contains 2 values, the electrode configuration must contain n columns describing the configuration used.
