APPENDIX A - Worked Examples
The examples given in Section 0 above for each of the data elements were drawn from a number of diverse metadata collections in order to illustrate each element. This may give a misleading view of a complete metadata definition. In order to correct this, a number of complete examples are given in this Appendix.
The names of the organisation that kindly donated the information are given for each dataset. It should be noted that this information has been provided purely for illustrative purposes. These examples should not be taken as evidence that the dataset provided can or will be provided by the relevant organisation.

Abstract |
4 |
Quarterly survey carried out by the DETR of all district planning authorities (shire districts, metropolitan districts, London boroughs, National Park authorities and Urban Development Corporations) to collect statistics of planning applications received and decided. The latter are broken down by size of development (two broad bands of major/minor development), type of development (for example, residential, industrial, retail), and speed at which decision was reached by the authority (recorded in weeks); also data on formal enforcement action taken by local planning authorities against breaches of planning conditions. Statistics are used to monitor the level and pattern of planning activity, to assess local planning authorities' (LPAs) performance in handling planning applications and to monitor the effect of current planning policy and inform future policy direction. |

Abstract |

The database contains geophysical data acquired by BGS as part of its offshore reconnaissance mapping programme. This programme was commenced in 1967, funded mainly by Department of Energy. The results of the programme are contained in a series of 1:250,000 scale geological and geophysical maps and 10 Regional Reports covering the UK Continental Shelf. The first phase of the programme was completed in 1986 and has been supplemented by additional data acquired through occasional surveys. The data are available as point values of gravity, magnetic and bathymetric information and as gridded data and derived maps. |
