Within DRIVER the use of elements is either:
- mandatory (M) = the element must always be present in the metadata record. An empty element is not allowed.
- mandatory when applicable (MA) = when the element can be obtained it must be present in the metadata record
- recommended (R)= the use of the element is recommended
- optional (O)= it is not important whether the element is used or not
The recommended status is made primarily to encourage users to input certain elements when creating a metadata record to enhance services.
