You can add Metadata settings for each indicator, date or associate on the

‘Metadata’ tab. The precision metadata property is already added to the list

as it is treated differently in the data file than all other metadata properties.

If you do not want to specify a precision for your data here, simply leave

the value cell blank. You can add further rows by clicking on the button

or delete rows by using the button. If you do not know the metadata

properties that can be used and what kind of values are expected for each

please refer to section ‘E.6. The Metadata Worksheet’.

Figure 27 shows several metadata properties defined for the indicator

‘Infant Mortality’.

When you have completed setting the Properties and Metadata click ‘OK’.

Saving the Data Model and Returning to the IA Publisher

When you are happy with the data model you have created you may wish

to save it for future use. This can be done by clicking the icon, which

allows you to save your InstantAtlas data model as an XML file in a

location of your choice. If you wish to load a previously created model, use

the load button to bring up a dialog from which you can choose the

data model you wish to load.
