Adding a metadata descriptor is very simple but there are several factors to consider as shown in the image. After creating the schema metadata, the modification page of the schema metadata will be presented. Once the schema has been created, a new record can be created and then associate it with it.
The first thing to do is fill in the following values:
Metadata Schema: schema to which the descriptor belongs (See 3.8.1.2)
Name: name of the descriptor
No empty value
Up to 255 characters allowed
Description: Description of the descriptor
This field is optional
IECode: electronic identifier of the descriptor
View Order: displays the order of the descriptor
There are other important fields for the new descriptor on the right-hand side.
The type of value that the descriptor stores.
DESCRIPTIVE: for descriptive metadata (these are the most common metadata)
TAG: for TAG descriptors and keywords. (Only one TAG type descriptor on the platform is possible)
LOCATION: all descriptors that correspond to the record’s location must have this type of metadata
TECHNICAL: type of descriptor that stores technical data
SYSTEM: for descriptors that store paths and data for viewers
CATEGORY: any category related to the displayed object
TITLE: descriptor to store the title of records
DESCRIPTION: descriptor to keep the description of records
THUMBNAIL: associated thumbnails to the displayed record (in the form of linked images)
LATLNG: for descriptors that store the record coordinates (useful for geolocation)
IDENTIFIER: for descriptors that store unique identifiers of the record
YEAR: type of descriptor that stores dates
ACCESS_LEVEL: type of descriptor that stores access to the record (There can only be one descriptor of type ACCESS_LEVEL on the platform)
Type of data that is stored in the descriptor.
STRING: for descriptors that store a simple string
DATE: for descriptors that store dates
TIME: for descriptors that store hours, minutes, and seconds
DATETIME: for descriptors that store dates and times
NUMBER: for descriptors that store simple numbers
MARKDOWN: This type of descriptor allows a small code to be rendered as HTML
Markdown Example:

If the Descriptor has a parent it can be selected, otherwise, there is no need to modify it.
Option to show or hide the descriptor. If “YES” is selected, this descriptor will be visible in all records.
The descriptor can be converted into a link and then look for the value in the search engine.
If the descriptor has this parameter enabled, the records must have a value in this descriptor.
It gives the option of not showing the descriptor in the manifest.
