Schema: SWMET

Class SWType

Properties: maxOccurs = unbounded minOccurs = 1

Schema element: swTypeCode

Field type / facets: String100Type

Properties: maxOccurs =1 minOccurs = 1

Guidance on completion of schema element: Required. Member State code for the characterisation type of the water body, as reported for each water body in the surface water schema (SWB), and the RBMP and background documents. If typology for HMWBs and/or AWBs has been derived and used it should be reported here. This will allow reporting of e.g. physico-chemical standards linked to these types under the schema SWMET.

Details on the typologies are no longer requested but a brief description of the type is required in TypeName and reference to where further details can be found in the RBMP and background documents.

In the previous reporting exercise in 2010, some Member States reported more characterisation types than were subsequently reported with surface water bodies. Please ensure consistency in the data reported.

Quality assurance checks: Cross-schema check: The reported swTypeCode must be consistent with the codes reported in SWB/SurfaceWaterBody/surfaceWaterBodyTypeCode.

Schema element: swTypeDescription

Field type / facets: String1000Type

Properties: maxOccurs =1 minOccurs = 1

Guidance on completion of schema element: Required. Briefly describe the type (e.g. small, lowland, siliceous rivers). Provide a reference to where further details can be found in the RBMP and background documents.

Schema element: swIntercalibrationType

Field type / facets: SWIntercalibrationType_Enum (see Annex 8a)

Properties: maxOccurs =unbounded minOccurs = 1

Guidance on completion of schema element: Required. If the surface water body type corresponds with an intercalibration type, report the intercalibration type code (not name).

The intercalibration type reported in this element must be appropriate to the surface water body’s Category.

If there is no corresponding intercalibration type, select ‘Not applicable’.

Quality checks: Cross-schema check: The reported intercalibrationType must be consistent with the codes reported in SWB/SurfaceWaterBody/surfaceWaterBodyIntercalibrationType

Schema element: swTypeCategory

Field type / facets: SWCategory_Enum: RW, LW, TW, CW

Properties: maxOccurs =1 minOccurs = 1

Guidance on completion of schema element: Required. Report the category of surface water body to which this type refers.

‘RW’ = River water body.

‘LW’ = Lake water body.

‘TW’ = Transitional water body.

‘CW’ = Coastal water body.

Schema element: swTypeSpecificReferenceConditionsForBQEs

Field type / facets: AllSomeNone_Enum: All, Some, None

Properties: maxOccurs =1 minOccurs = 1

Guidance on completion of schema element: Required. Indicate whether type-specific reference conditions have been established for this surface water type for all relevant BQEs:

‘All’: Yes, reference conditions have been set for this type for all relevant BQEs

‘Some’: Partly, reference conditions have been set for this type for some BQEs

‘None’: No, reference conditions have not been set for this type for any BQEs

Schema element: swTypeSpecificReferenceConditionsForHyMoQEs

Field type / facets: AllSomeNone_Enum: All, Some, None

Properties: maxOccurs =1 minOccurs = 1

Guidance on completion of schema element: Required. Indicate whether type-specific reference conditions have been established for this surface water type for all relevant hydromorphological QEs.

‘All’: Yes, reference conditions have been set for this type for all relevant hydromorphological QEs

‘Some’: Partly, reference conditions have been set for this type for some hydromorphological QEs

‘None’: No, reference conditions have not been set for this type for any hydromorphological QEs

Schema element: swTypeSpecificReferenceConditionsForPhysChemQEs

Field type / facets: AllSomeNone_Enum: All, Some, None

Properties: maxOccurs =1 minOccurs = 1

Guidance on completion of schema element: Required. Indicate whether type-specific reference conditions have been established for this surface water type for all relevant physico-chemical QEs:

‘All’: Yes, reference conditions have been set for this type for all relevant physico-chemical QEs

‘Some’: Partly, reference conditions have been set for this type for some physico-chemical QEs

‘None’: No, reference conditions have not been set for this type for any physico-chemical QEs
