When publishing network-adjusted gravity data, it should be accompanied by a description of the processing. Complete geospatial metadata, typically provided in XML format, meets the FGDC or ISO 19115 standard. Many tools exist to prepare such metadata, and typically a specialized editor is required to meet the specific format and fields required by the standards.
To assist in the preparation of metadata, the Tools > Write metadata text menu command will write narrative text to a file in the data directory with details of the network adjustment, including:
Minimum and maximum delta-g residuals
Minimum and maximum datum observation residuals
Average standard deviation of the adjusted gravity values
Number of delta-g's included in the adjustment
Number of excluded delta-g's
Number of datum observations included in the adjustment
Number of excluded datum observations
Typically this metadata text would be included in the Attribute Accuracy Report section of FGDC metadata.
