Metadata: Weelies Taing Inter-Tidal Survey
Abstract:
A coastal and inter-tidal survey was conducted in the area of Weelie's Taing on Papa Westray employing a differential Global Navigation Satellite System (dGNSS) to record man-made features in the shallow water and above High Water Mark (HWM). Dry-suit wading around the harbour allowed examination of the submerged sediment and make-up of the structures. Some stripping of seaweed was required to expose features in order to understand whether they were constructed or of natural origin. A coastal and inter-tidal walkover of the surrounding bay of North Wick (from The Cletts to Surhoose Taing) also took place to locate the sites in their maritime landscape setting. The survey was conducted around spring low tides to maximize the area that could be surveyed, and during early spring to avoid conflict with seal pups. During the higher stages of tide the areas above the high-tide mark were investigated.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 11551 |
| 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. | Weelies Taing Inter-Tidal Survey |
| 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. | bd8a1373-edfa-402c-9d3b-2d40a68e3a04 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | orkneyre1-195198 |
| 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 | 2013-11-12 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-04-21 |
