| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 812 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 1998 - Ongoing Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (MBA) UK volunteer collected Sealife Survey records |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 331598372eda719709e2bf3aec25222a |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MRMLN00400000002 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1998-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2021-07-28 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | biannually |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Volunteer marine species sightings from 1998 - present for the United Kingdom, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands with occasional records from other countries. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | MarLIN, an initiative of the Marine Biological Association, collects and collates records of seashore and underwater life through the Sealife Survey recording scheme. Records can be submitted on-line, over the phone or through the post. Two waterproof identification guides (seashore and underwater species) have been produced to help volunteers identify common and unusual species. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | http://www.mba.ac.uk/learning-zone#b7 |
