Spatial coverage

Definition

This field is for place name keywords

Instructions

Place name text strings should be specified out to the nation level. It is typical for the place name to represent the largest extent the data layer represents.

It is recommended to have at least one place name for each layer that corresponds to the logical extent of the area of that layer. Adding additional place names that fall within the layer should be done only if they are topically relevant to the content of the data. If a long list of place names is desired in the metadata for search purposes, a customized hidden field is recommended.

Examples

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
