In relation to a particular domain, each value is defined by:\na numerical identifier,\na textual name for humans which may be translated in the different Community languages,\na language neutral name for computers (the value expressed between parenthesis),\nan optional description or definition.\nThe table present the following information:\nthe first column contains the reference to the paragraph in the Annex defining the metadata element or group of metadata elements,\nthe second column contains the name of the metadata element or group of metadata elements,\nthe third column specifies the multiplicity of a metadata element. The expression of the multiplicity follows the unified modelling language (UML) notation for multiplicity, in which:\nN means that there shall be only N instances of this metadata element in a result set,\n1..* means that there shall be at least one instance of this element in a result set,\n0..1 indicates that the presence of the metadata element in a result set is conditional but can occur only once,\n0..* indicates that the presence of the metadata element in a result set is conditional but the metadata element may occur once or more,\nwhen the multiplicity is 0..1 or 0..*, the condition defines when the metadata elements is mandated.\nthe fourth column contains a conditional statement if the multiplicity of the element does not apply to all types of resources. All elements are mandatory in other circumstances.",
