| DC-Gov Definition | ||
| Source Comments | Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name or geographic coordinates), temporal period (a period label, date, or date range) or jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity). Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the Thesaurus of Geographic Names [TGN]) and that, where appropriate, named places or time periods be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges. | |
| DC-Gov Comments | Use this element for geographic coverage. The value of this element may also be included in Subject if desired. | |
