Talk:SourceIndication

raphael (talk) 23:29, 5 February 2017 (CET): Proposed definition: Information about the source document, publication, or reference from which object data or textual material included or referenced in a dataset are derived. (S-57 SORIND, adapted.)

Remarks:

• sourceIndication is intended for encoding meta-information that helps the end-user evaluate the reliability or importance of object data or textual material. Its use should be limited to situations where end users may need to evaluate reliability or importance themselves.
• The content of the featureName sub-attribute, if populated, must be the name of the authority or organization which published or distributed the source document.

Explanation (not for registry?): SORIND is structured text, it has been turned into a complex attribute for NPUB modeling and the definition updated to reflect changes to its intended purpose.
