Filling Out the Document Class

The <Document> class contains the high-level description of the logical content (as opposed to the physical file formatting) of an archival document. This is the class where you'll find the publication information, like title, author, and abstract. It is required in all Document products.

For additional explanation, see the PDS4 Standards Reference, or contact your PDS node consultant.

Following are the attributes and subclasses you'll find in the Document class, in label order.

Note that in the PDS4 master schema, all classes have capitalized names; attributes never do.
