The input format for some fields in this template may differ from how the field is documented in OpenGeoMetadata. These differences are intended to make it easier to enter values, which will be transformed when we upload the record to GEOMG.

Bounding Box coordinates should be entered as W,S,E,N. The coordinates are automatically transformed to a different order ENVELOPE(W,E,N,S). Read more under the Local Input Guidelines.

Date Range should be entered as yyyy-yyyy. This is automatically transformed to [yyyy TO yyyy].

External links are added separately under column headers for the type of link. These are combined into the dct_references_s field as a string of key:value pairs
