coverage

coverage(geographicCoverage = NULL, temporalCoverage = NULL,
  taxonomicCoverage = NULL, references = NULL, id = NULL,
  system = NULL, scope = NULL, geographicDescription = NULL,
  boundingCoordinates = NULL, datasetGPolygon = NULL)

Arguments

geographicCoverage

Geographic coverage information. See geographicCoverage()
temporalCoverage

Temporal coverage information. See temporalCoverage()
taxonomicCoverage

Taxonomic coverage information. See taxonomicCoverage()
references

The id of another element in this EML document to be used to here in this context. See references()
id

A unique identifier for this additional metadata that can be used to reference it elsewhere. This is a formal field in that it is an error to provide a value for the id attribute that is not unique within the document's set of id attributes. This is designed to allow other portions of the metadata to reference this section formally.
system

The data management system within which an identifier is in scope and therefore unique. This is typically a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that indicates a data management system. All identifiers that share a system must be unique. In other words, if the same identifier is used in two locations with identical systems, then by definition the objects at which they point are in fact the same object.
scope

The scope of the identifier. Scope is generally set to either "system", meaning that it is scoped according to the "system" attribute, or "document" if it is only to be in scope within this single document instance. In this particular use of scope, it is FIXED to be "system" because the packageId is required and always has the scope of the required "system".
geographicDescription

Short text description of the geographic areal domain of the data set. See geographicDescription()
boundingCoordinates

The four margins (N, S, E, W) of a bounding box on the earth's surface, or when considered in lat-lon pairs, the corners of the box. To define a single point, use the same value in each lat or lon pair. These elements are meant to convey general information and are not for accurate mapping. More specific information may be included by using the elements in the spatialReference schema. See boundingCoordinates()
datasetGPolygon

This construct creates a spatial ring with a hollow center. See datasetGPolygon()

Value

a coverage list object
