Geographic coverage template: Add elevation field #33

Open clnsmth opened 5 years ago

clnsmth commented 5 years ago

Add an elevation field to the geographic_coverage.txt template.

(I initially commented with Darwin Core terms that include minimumDepthInMeters/maximumDepthInMeters, but now see that EML coverage handles depth with negative values in altitudeMinimum/altitudeMaximum.)

and with the unit in a separate element. So the addition to assemblyLine would be for all three (min, max, unit).

whether these could be mapped to DC terms would require some code and an understanding of context of the dataset - e.g., simply having a negative altitude max/min does not guarantee the point is below a surface.
