Entity Metadata Record

The Entity Metadata Record (EMDR) describes the source and quality of the data contained in the CCOGIF dataset. There may be multiple EMDRs in a single CCOGIF dataset if there are varying sources and quality of data in the dataset. The entity data records in the CCOGIF dataset refer back to these entity metadata records by ID.

The FME represents an EMDR with a CCOGIF_METADATA feature with the following attributes:
