New Elements - ProcessStep

[stansmith907]

Class processStep

New Element Definitions:

• processingInformation: { processing } "comprehensive information about the procedure by which the algorithm was applied to derive geographic data from the raw instrument measurements, such as datasets, software used, and the processing environment"
• report: [ processStepReport ] "report generated by the process step"

Rules:

• [ ] processingInformation: optional
• [ ] report: optional

Note: LE_ProcessStep also added an output element array to hold products produced by the step. These are of type { LE_Source }. We added this function to mdJSON earlier in support of FGDC as the stepProduct array of type { LI_Source }. I will make the needed adjustment in the writers.

mdJson:

{
   "processStep": [
      {
         "stepId": "process step ID",
         "description": "process step description",
         "rationale": "process step rationale",
         "timePeriod": { },
         "processor": [ ],
         "stepSource": [ ],
         "stepProduct": [ ],
         "reference": [ ],
         "scope": { },
         "processingInformation": { },
         "report": [ ]
      }
   ]
}
