Spatial Coverage (O)

Spatial region or named place where the data was gathered or which the data is about (occurrence: 0-n). EUDAT Core offers the following possibilities to display geographical information:

  • geoLocationPlace

  • geoLocationPoint

  • geoLocationBox

  • geoLocationPolygon

Allowed values, examples, other constraints Recommended, in accordance with DataCite: Use WGS 84 (World Geodetic System) coordinates. Use only decimal numbers for coordinates. Longitudes are -180 to 180 (0 is Greenwich, negative numbers are west, positive numbers are east), Latitudes are -90 to 90 (0 is the equator; negative numbers are south, positive numbers north).
