The fF Repository combines elements from three metadata schemes: , , and . This chart describes the metadata elements used by the flattenedFauna repository. They are grouped into categories by applicator: 1. Depositors are responsible for providing certain required and optional elements when contributing data; 2. Curators will assign additional elements based on record-level metadata collected at submission and are also responsible for mapping variable-level metadata to repository schema, and; 3. Some elements are populated automatically by the system.
