Centrally Defined Codes

This section describes the various metadata codes that are centrally defined. These codes can be modified or added to only by the central administrative site, Site 1. The information given by these encodings is generally necessary to read the data, so these codes must be the same at all sites (with some provision for locally defined quantity codes and units codes.)
