Privacy Status
 
Definition

The <Private> field allows the author to restrict the data set description from being publicly available. There are only two options:

    • True. Make the description unavailable to the public.
    • False. Make the description publicly available. This is the default. If the author wants the description to be available to the public, then no action is required.
 
Syntax
<Private>True or False</Private>
 
Usage
  • The <Private> field is recommended and may not be repeated.
  • The <Private> flag is always set to False.  If the author wants to restrict the description from being accessible to the public, then the  <Private> must be set to True.
 
Example
<Private>True</Private>
