16.2 Naming Conventions
X#####/Metadata
- The reports required for submission to the Office of Coast Survey (Metadata, Equipment List, Quality Control Procedures, Control Point Establishment, and Report of Survey) as described in Reports and Survey Findings are each included within the Survey Metadata XML form available in Pydro, a freely available, open-source tool published by the Office of Coast Survey that includes XML reporting.
-
For NOAA ISD surveys, the Survey Metadata XML form and any report images used must be included for submission as a compressed file and separately as a digitally signed PDF.
