Changing the scope of coverageType #94

Open sroosa opened 9 years ago

sroosa commented 9 years ago

During the controlled vocabulary review we were thinking it would be useful to be able to identify the type of coverage beyond simply spatial or temporal; for example, georeference, geoname, Date range, century, period, etc. One suggestion was that we move the spatial/temporal vocab terms to an attribute, while providing the more specific terms in the coverageType element. Or the spatial/temporal could be implied by the more specific coverageType term.

More on this from @AllisonAnn : What I’ve suggested is that the current recommended vocab for CoverageType (spatial, temporal) could be tied to a pbcoreCoverage container element, containing a nested Coverage element tied to a special vocab for either spatial or temporal data, and an added Note element.
