The old tool provided by Ajay for editing some of the layer metadata (http://spatial-dev.ala.org.au/ws/admin/layers) needs to be updated to enable a) more effective creating/editing and b) to support additional attributes required to better support ALA tools and services.
a) 1. Definitions of the fields needs to be associated with the editor to ensure quality metadata
a) 2. Use of controlled vocab in responses to constrain input (e.g., licence type)
a) 3. Ideally, the ability to edit fields of multiple selected layers to take a single common value
b) 1. Spatial extent - options are global, national, regional, local
b) 2. Unique polygons - options are yes, no. Examples: LGAs (yes), Land Cover (no)
b) 3. Spatial coverage - options are total or partial. Examples: LGA (total), CAPADs (partial)
b) 4. Primary legend class. Many layers have multiple class values. Example: CAPAD has reserve type and reserve name.
b) 5. Secondary legend class.
The attributes in (b) can then be used to generate a rule set for various applications. Examples
If national extent and total coverage coverage - cross-tabulate (2d)
If national and partial - tabulate (1d)
If national and total - region tool candidate
...need to think more about a rule for Facet layers
