Standard Values Quick Reference

A number of attributes in the PDS common classes have standard value lists. You can look the standard values up in either the Data Dictionary - Abridged document or the Schematron file that comes with the PDS4 master schema. Both can be rather tedious to sort through.

Following are the most commonly used standard value lists for quick reference. They're sorted first by the attribute name, then by the context in which it appears. Many of these appear in several different classes, and the standard value lists depend on which class the attribute appears in, and sometimes - as in the case of <reference_type> - it depends on the containing class one or two levels above that. We'll try to keep these updated as changes and additions propagate to the master schema.

Note that spelling counts - including capitalization and use of underscores vs. blanks. Type these values exactly as they're shown below or you will get a validation error from the Schematron file.

As of 2013-05-20, these have been updated to reflect the Release 1.0 schemas and documents.

The allowed values for <facet1> and <facet2> depend on the value of <discipline_name>, but are independent of each other. Not all disciplines have a facet2 value list, and there is no requirement to use these values if they are not applicable to your data. This table shows the discipline_name/facet correspondences:

discipline_name	facet1	facet2
Atmospheres	Structure Meteorology	not used
Fields	Electric Magnetic	Background Waves
Flux Measurements	Photometry Polarimetry	not used
Imaging	Grayscale Color Movie Color Movie	not used
Particles	Ions Electrons Neutrals	Cosmic Ray Solar Energetic Energetic Plasma

Small Bodies	Dynamical Properties Lightcurve Meteoritics Physical Properties Production Rates Shape Model Taxonomy Dust Study Historical Reference Gas Study	not used

If you have suggestions for additional facet values, please contact your PDS node representative.
