The AGLS Metadata Terms Namespace provides URIs for the AGLS Metadata Terms Vocabulary. Vocabulary terms are declared using RDF Schema language to support RDF applications. The AGLS Metadata Terms form a richer vocabulary, which is intended to facilitate discovery of resources. It will be updated according to AGLS Working Group decisions.
Spatial topic and spatial applicability may be a named place or a location specified by its geographic coordinates. Temporal topic may be a named period, date, or date range. A jurisdiction may be a named administrative entity or a geographic place to which the resource applies. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Thesaurus of Geographic Names [TGN]. Where appropriate, named places or time periods can be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges.
