Wiki to summarize the state of the current discussion sourrounding the WMO core pfofile

Elements that need standardization

• fileIdentifier (uncontroversial)
• Data Policy (open)
• GTS priority (open)

On the Data Policy:

• DWD: gmd:MD_LegalConstraints/gmd:otherConstraints/gco:CharacterString
• JMA: gmd:MD_LegalConstraints/gmd:otherConstraints/gco:CharacterString
• MF: gmd:MD_LegalConstraints/gmd:useLimitations/gco:CharacterString

(argues that INSPIRE requires two consecutive gmd:resourceConstraints, the first one specifying "conditions applying to access and use", and including at least the gmd:useLimitation element. Not clear if these can be the same as the WIS encoding, given we settle for useLimitation)

• CMA: ?? (evidence from their MD suggests gmd:MD_LegalConstraints/gmd:otherConstraints/gco:CharacterString)
• Chair: gmd:MD_Constraints/gmd:useLimitation/gco:CharacterString

What is not clear is where everybody stands regarding the need for having a "ressourceContraints/MD_LegalConstraints/useConstraints|accessConstraints/MD_restrictionCode@codelistValue="otherRestrictions".

On the GTS priority:

• DWD: gmd:MD_LegalConstraints/gmd:otherConstraints/gco:CharacterString
• JMA: ??
• MF: gmd:MD_LegalConstraints/gmd:useLimitations/gco:CharacterString
• CMA: ?? (evidence from their MD suggests gmd:MD_LegalConstraints/gmd:otherConstraints/gco:CharacterString)
• Chair: gmd:MD_Constraints/gmd:useLimitation/gco:CharacterString

On the issue when a record can be considered unrestricted:

Everybody seems to agree that data can be unrestricted if there is no gmd:resourceConstraints/*/gmd:otherConstraints (what * means needs agreement), or a Data Policy element having a non WMO codelist value.
