Metadata: MEDIN Gazetteer of Marine Points of Interest v2 (November 2013)
Abstract:
A GIS dataset consisting of a merged dataset consisting of points and centroids of line and polygon features for marine points of interest in the UK. There are 50,163 features in total, for example, "Dogger Bank", "Wolf Rock", "Bude Bay" and "Anton Dohrn Seamount". The constituent datasets are separately available as GIS layers; MEDIN Gazetteer of Named Marine Areas v2 (November 2013), MEDIN Gazetteer of Coastline Features and MEDIN Gazetteer of Sea Features.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 3609 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | MEDIN Gazetteer of Marine Points of Interest v2 (November 2013) |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 654f49bf7267fc7afcbdc7aff59d3bdf |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | medin0002 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2013-11-12 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2013-11-12 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |
Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | A GIS dataset consisting of a merged dataset consisting of points and centroids of line and polygon features for marine points of interest in the UK. There are 50,163 features in total, for example, "Dogger Bank", "Wolf Rock", "Bude Bay" and "Anton Dohrn Seamount".

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The UK Marine Gazetteer Points of Interest was created for MEDIN from data sourced from the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) electronic navigational charts, Ordnance Survey 50K gazetteer and out-of-copyright charts specifically digitised for MEDIN. Data from the UKHO charts and MEDIN sea and ocean areas, where polygon and line features, are represented in this dataset as points (based on the centroid of the feature). This dataset will contain duplicates, for example, where feature names are similar, but not identical, or where features have a Gaelic name in one dataset and an English name in another or where features have a large extent (such as bars and banks) and the centroids of equivalent features in different datasets are not within 1-2km. |
