The Attribute Metadata Status column in the PNG Data Dictionary describes the state of the metadata for each attribute. The diagram below visualises the different status options, and shows how each attribute's metadata can progress through these options.
Each attribute metadata status item can be described as follows;
| Metadata Status | Status Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | The metadata record is in a 'preliminary draft' or work-in-progress state. |
| Pending Approval | The metadata record is in a 'final draft' state and requires approval to be upgraded to Live. |
| Live | The metadata record has been reviewed and approved. |
| Review Required | The metadata record requires review and subsequent approval/reapproval, to be upgraded to Live. |
