Annex xxx - INSPIRE Metadata Codelists

This Annex gives a description of the value domains (codelists) to be used for the INSPIRE metadata elements, as specified in the descriptions given in the previous sections. Those domains are defined:

in the metadata Regulation (CE) no. 1205/2008 (section 1); in this metadata TG or in INSPIRE data specifications TG (section 2); in the ISO standards (see section 3). In that case, the value domains corresponding, even only in part, to the codelists defined in ISO

Standards but already given in section 1 or in section 2 are non included.

For every codelist, each value is defined by:

a numerical identifier (No. ID), if any, corresponding, in most cases, to the numerical identifier defined in Regulation (CE) no. 1205/2008 or to ISO domain code;

a textual name; a language neutral name, if any; an optional definition/description; an URI identifier, if any.
