## NAME

v.sdts.meta - Interactive menu-driven utility to create and install supplementary metadata and data quality reports for a vector map, preparatory to their incorporation in an SDTS transfer dataset.
(GRASS Vector Data Export/Processing Program)

## SYNOPSIS

v.sdts.meta

## DESCRIPTION

This menu-driven Tcl/Tk program enables the user to prepare and install supplementary metadata and data quality reports for a vector map preceding the creation of an SDTS transfer dataset. With v.sdts.meta, metadata and data quality files can be edited, saved, retrieved, and modified, and then installed in the GRASS database in association with a particular vector map layer. Subsequently, v.out.sdts will incorporate this metadata along with the associated vector map in an SDTS transfer dataset.

In addition to the five data quality modules, supplementary metadata items currently able to be edited and installed include

  (1) creation date for the original source map;
  (2) a general TITLE for the transfer;
  (3) a general comment about the transfer;
  (4) name of geographic datum;
  (4) and (5), name and definition for the kind of entity contained in the GRASS vector layer being transferred;
  (6) and (7) custom definitions for the dig_att and dig_cats values being transferred.
