A sampling station is any place where data are collected. A siteID is an identifier that this site is referred to as. There may be multiple siteID elements. Only one should be labeled as the defaultID (set attribute defaultID=true) Multiple siteID elements are allowed because site identifiers may change, and different observation networks may refer to the same site with different identifiers. True if this is the main identifier that this service uses to access this site. default value is false. The name of the observation network that this site identification is use for. An identifier of the site, the type of identifier must be specified. the default time zone for this site (+00:00) and if this site shifts to daylight savings time (attribute: usesDaylightSavingsTime) text Multiple <method>s lists the methods used to collect the data and any additional information about the method. Different instruments should be represented as different methods, according to ODM best practices. True is a webservice has transformed the time zone from the original data. True is a webservice has transformed the data from the original units. A brief name of the variable that could be shown in a menu A detailed descriptn of the variable. May include processing information and other details. The units of the measurement. Element containing the time support (or temporal footprint) of the data values. @isRegular indicates if the spacing is regular. the timeInterval is the spacing between the observations, with the units being the units of the spacing. This basically communicates the precision of the observation. If timeSupport isReqgular, and has units of 1 day, then clients should reformat output to spreadsheets and applications to day values. In waterML 1.0, there is a divergence of mean between ODM, and WaterML. WaterML only communcates the regularity, and the spacing of the observations (timeInterval). Whereas timesupport in the ODM is associated with the dataType, and time support. This will be addressed in 1.1 A list of options. Option elements are key-value pair elements that control how a variable maght be utilized in a service. Examples: MODIS web service. Information is aggreated over land or ocean or both. The plotarea option can include: plotarea=land, plotarea=land, plotarea=landocean USGS uses a statistic code, 0003, to repesent a value type of 'Average'. The USGS statistic codes also several options that do not fit the ODM data model. Option elements are key-value pair elements that control how a variable maght be utilized in a service.

The longitude of the site in a decimal degrees as calculated in terms of the given datum. Represents a coordinate tuple in one, two, or three dimensions. ============================================================== There are two ways to represent coordinates: (1) as a sequence of <coord> elements that encapsulate tuples, or (2) using a single <coordinates> string. =================================================================== XML List based on XML Schema double type. An element of this type contains a space-separated list of double values =========================================================== == Subset of basicTypes.xsd for this profile ============== =========================================================== =========================================================== Code used to identify the level of quality control to which data values have been subjected. This code is used to link a quality element (qualityControlLevelType) to a dataValue/@ququalityControlLevel “1”, “1.1”, “Raw”, “QCChecked” A quality control level code of -9999 is suggested for data whose quality control level is unknown Definition of Quality Control Level. “Raw Data”, “Quality Controlled Data” Explanation of Quality Control Level eg “Raw data is defined as unprocessed data and data products that have not undergone quality control.”
