Discussion

Citations are used to provide information about citing the resource being described in the metadata or to refer to resources outside of the metadata record. Citations use CI_Citation and cite the party responsible using CI_Responsibility. CI_Responsibility may be used without CI_Citation. CI_Responsibility is an aggregate of one or more parties (CI_Party). CI_Party may be specified as CI_Individual and/or CI_Organisation.

ICSM Best Practice Recommendations

Therefore - it is recommended that all citation instances follow the general guidance of ISO 19115-1 unless directed otherwise. The mandatory element title must be populated in all instances noting the the type and form of the contents in this field is dependent on location in the metadata record.

Note BC 18-7 - MDWG may wish to further standardise the use of CI_Citation
