View source for Cross Archive Metadata - Legacy datasets

[[File:MetadataDefinitions.png | thumb | right | 400px | Definition of essential, recommended, and desired in regards to paleoclimate data standards]]

This page is structured around polls to gather rapid community feedbacks on which metadata property should be considered essential, required, or desired metadata (for a definition of these terms, see [[Paleoclimate_Data_Standards | this page]]). Comments can be added directly to the tables. To sign your comments, use: <pre> ~~~~ </pre>

To see a current definition of the terms, click on the links. If you disagree on the definition, please use the Discussion tab.

If you think a metadata property is missing, [[Quick_Guide_to_Editing_Wiki_Pages | add a poll]] directly in the appropriate section.

'''Note''': Do not edit the polls (even for typos) once voting has started as it will reset the vote counts to zero. If a change needs to be made, make an annotation above the old poll (i.e., above the poll tags) and place the new poll below the first one. 

'''If the page freezes and you're unable to vote, refresh the page!'''
