fgdc bio ASCII file format #143

Closed stansmith907 closed 7 years ago

stansmith907 commented 7 years ago

The FGDC Biological extension provides for a description of ASCII file layout within the distribution.standardOrder.digitalForm.digitalInformation section.

I have added these field to issue #129 entity attribute description rather than the distribution process.

I can't say I have ever used this. I have seen an obscure data type instance or two that this could be applied to.

This information could move the data dictionary section and I added these field to issue #129 https://github.com/adiwg/mdTranslator/issues/129 to demonstrate.
