During the initial phase of the IESR project descriptions of agents will be created using templates, either Excel or XML, by the identified initial contributors. Eventually there will be a Web form for input and editing of data.

Rights. All metadata records in the IESR will be freely available and licensed under a Creative Commons Licence: Attribution Required; Non-Commercial; Share-Alike. When you submit data to the IESR you are agreeing to this licence on your metadata records.

Identifiers. Identifiers for collections, services and agents will be allocated on registration with IESR. For initial submisssion of data please construct simple identifiers to enable correlation by the IESR project team between the collection and its associated services (hasService) and its agents (owner, administrator).

Repeated and Optional properties. When properties are repeated please repeat elements in the XML or lines in the Excel spreadsheet. Where optional properties are not included please delete the elements from the XML or the lines from the Excel spreadsheet. Fixed value properties are not included in the data submission templates.

Version 2. Following a review of the IESR metadata early in Phase 2 of the project several changes were made to the metadata available as output from the IESR. These changes are listed at the beginning of the review document. The Excel templates for data supply will not be changed. The XML templates for data supply and the tables below have been updated, but data encoded according to version 1 XML templates will still be accepted.

For help and further information please contact the IESR project team iesr@mimas.ac.uk
