A Composite resource is a resource which can include multiple files without file format limitations. This resource is aimed to support the metadata and data functions at both file level and resource level to better support data management in HydroShare.
Each file will be annotated with general file type metadata. If the file(s) is in the format which represents a specific file type supported in HydroShare (e.g. .vrt and .tif represent geo raster file type), the file(s) will be supported with specific file type metadata and additional data functions (e.g. metadata extraction from .tif file).
This is an example composite resource to demonstrate how to store different kind of files within the composite resource and provide file type metadata information for each file. To learn more about how to create and use this resource type, please check with HydroShare "HELP" page.
