Overview
ESS-DIVE's location reporting format is intended to guide users in providing a minimal set of metadata about locations.
This reporting format was developed by synthesizing the requirements for reporting locations from ESS-DIVE's existing reporting formats. We also took into consideration 12 other locations-related standards, conventions, guidelines, and reporting formats to determine which elements would constitute a minimal set of appropriate metadata.
