ECRR Building Blocks

Modular metadata schemas for EarthCube Resource Registry (ECRR) resource types, structured as OGC Building Blocks.

Building Blocks

ecrrProperties (10 schema components)

Building Block	Description
ecrrBase	Mandatory identity, type, name, description, mainEntity, license
ecrrCommon	Shared optional: identifiers, agents, keywords, domains, funding
ecrrAssessment	Maturity, lifetime, usage, stewardship, registration
ecrrCatalog	Catalog/repository content types
ecrrCollection	Bundled object component parts
ecrrDataset	Distribution, spatial/temporal coverage, variables
ecrrSemanticResource	Representation language for semantic resources
ecrrService	Protocols, interface specs, data formats, invocation
ecrrSoftware	Functions, runtime, languages, repos, dependencies
ecrrSpecification	Parent specification references

ecrrProfiles (11 resource type profiles)

ECRRCatalog, ECRRCollection, ECRRDataset, ECRRInterchangeFormat, ECRRInterface, ECRRPlatform, ECRRSemanticResource, ECRRService, ECRRSoftware, ECRRSpecification, ECRRUseCase

Each profile composes ecrrBase + ecrrCommon + ecrrAssessment with resource-type-specific properties via allOf. ECRRDataset additionally extends CDIFcomplete.
