	 FGDC-STD-001.1-1999 XML Schema. 1.0.0 2009XXXX

	 This is the XML Schema for formal metadata, metadata conforming to the Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata Biological Profile of the Federal Geographic Data 

	 Committee.  This schema corresponds to the October, 1999 version of the standard, FGDC-STD-001.1-1999.

	 This file is the primary XML Schema and loads the definitions for sections 1-10 of the standard from separate schema modules. This Biological Profile schema was built from the 		

	 existing FGDC Metadata XML Schema 1.0.0 2009.

	 Element names:

	     Element names are a maximum of 8-characters long, to coincide with the Reference Concrete Syntax.

	 Element ordering:

	     Generally the order of elements is now significant.  XML makes it difficult to write a DTD that allows elements to be in any order.  Although XML Schemas do not have this 

		 restriction, it was decided to keep the significance of element order in order not to break the DTD validity of XML-encoded metadata files.

	 Authors:

	     Original:Richard E. Rathmann (PSGS/NOAA Coastal Services Center,Charleston, SC) with assistance from Mike Moeller (PSGS/NOAA CSC), Doug Nebert (Federal 

				Geographic Data Committee) and Jacqueline Mize (Radiance Technologies, Inc./NOAA's National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC)).

	 Distribution liability:

		 NOAA makes no warranty regarding these data, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA, NESDIS, 

		 NODC and NCDDC cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data, nor as a result of the failure of these data 

		 to function on a particular system.
