<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Apologies for pushing this in your direction, but as far as I'm concerned, UKHO needs to sign this document off as fit for purpose as you are the Bathy DAC. This <U>has</U> to work for you and map across to your systems and workflows.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I won't have the chance to review this and provide feedback before tomorrow's meeting, but I shall in due course. Bob Kinnear will be phoning into tomorrow's meeting.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi All,</DIV>
<DIV>Please find attached a draft revision to the MEDIN data guideline for multibeam echo sounder data and proposed structure of the data guideline templates (this essentially treats them more like a form).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is still work to do on the guideline but we will be discussing it at the meeting tomorrow and I would like the MEDIN standards WG comments on the proposed structure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>
<DIV>Clare</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Summary of proposed changes to Data Guideline:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<UL style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 36pt">
<LI>There has been no change to the fields that are specified in the Data Guideline (apart from a couple of errors that were spotted in multibeam echo sounder specific fields). All changes are to the structure of the guideline and the presentation of the requirements.
<LI>The requirements for the data guideline have been split into 3 distinct sections: General Metadata, Detailed Metadata and Data. General Metadata would include Survey, Project and Station information, Detailed Metadata would include Method (and possibly Sample Event) information and Data would include the data content and format requirements (and possibly Sample Event information).
<LI>On the first 2 pages of the guideline there are statements about what is required of a dataset to be MEDIN compliant.
<LI>I have explicitly stated that the Detailed Metadata may be included in a survey/cruise report
<LI>A summary of the required fields follow, so in theory someone could use the first 8 pages of the document as the guideline. There are hyperlinks from the summary to the detailed description and examples, which are now found in 3 Appendices.
<LI>Within the summary, fields are separated into those that MUST be supplied and those that constitute useful additional information.
<LI>The Appendices contain the summary of fields that are required (the same list as at the beginning of the guideline) as well as the full details and examples. </LI></UL>
