| NGDF Element | Revision | Reason |
| End Date of Capture | GEO use attribute now 2073 | Previously 2072 which is the beginning date attribute number. |
| Presentation Type | GEO use attribute now 3805 (Geospatial Data Presentation Form) | This GEO attribute is more representative of the NGDF element. Previously linked to Direct Spatial reference Method, which details the digital format of the dataset (vector, raster, etc). |
| System of Spatial Referencing by Co-ordinates | Remove GEO attribute mapping | Previously linked to Spatial Domain. However Spatial Domain is a grouping element to contain the bounding rectangle latitude/longitude co-ordinates, whereas the NGDF element describes what format is being used to describe the geographic extent. |
| Additional Information Source | GEO use attribute now 3812 (Other Citation Details) | Previously not mapped to GEO. Now mapped to Other Citation Details, which GEO uses to describe other information sources. |
| Dataset Association | GEO use attribute now 2068 (Cross Reference) | Previously not mapped to GEO. Now mapped to Cross Reference, which describes information about other, related data sets that are likely to be of interest. NGDF dataset association |
