DC is vaguely librarian-driven, not marketing. "coverage" is one of the basic elements finalized I think last year. If you write a piece on kayaking in Alaska, then the coverage is Alaska. Ditto for air quality records for London, UK etc. There's also some numeric subelements (nominally latitude, longitude in degrees) which can enable a geographic search, and temporal subelements which enable a time-based search. If the element doesn't make sense (say for a texture JPEG), leave it out. Andrew
