Special Problem: I have an element that is a free text domain. How can I restrict this field to a set of defined terms?

gmx:Anchor for text anchor (gmx:Anchor) can be used as a substitute for a CharacterString when you want to restrict the free text to a controlled vocabulary. Ex: Pearl Harbor, HI can be replaced by Pearl Harbor, HI In this implementation example, the gmx:Anchor points to a vocabulary that containing a specific vocabulary entry.

Special Problem: Codelists I have an element that uses a codeList but the codeList values do not contain the information I need. How can I extend the codeList or can I use my own? Creators can supply your own codeList anywhere in the Standard by pointing to a custom location instead of the standard location. Of course, this could cause interoperability problems, so it should not be done without careful consideration of the implications.

NCEI Component Registry - Docucomp

Example CI_ResponsibleParty

Unresolved Records Record Services Sample record

Resolve Records

Ideally, you have a single component with a default role that you can “overwrite”. When you resolve the component, the specified role will override and replace the default component role value. Special Problem: How do I change the default role value of a responsible party component?

Example of ‘role’ Ex: National Coastal Data Development Center (pointOfContact)"> originator

Example of ‘role’ Ex: The component National Coastal Data Development Center (pointOfContact)"/> Has a default role of pointOfContact
