            <gco:CharacterString>Les informations utilisées pour l’élaboration de ce produit reposent sur la carte de nature des fonds océaniques publiée par l'UNESCO en 1972 et numérisée par le Shom en 1995. Cette carte, de faible résolution, avait pour objet de fournir une information de base quant à la nature des fonds marins et concernait essentiellement les grands-fonds. 
Elle a été progressivement améliorée par le Shom qui y a intégré des cartes plus précises produites par le Shom, des cartes sédimentaires numérisées ou des documents de synthèse publiés par divers organismes. Ces cartes ont au préalable été mises en forme, généralisées lorsque le document original était trop précis et mises au format de la classification des natures des sédiments établie par le Shom. 
La présente version de la carte mondiale comprend les cartes listées en annexe 7.3 du descriptif de contenu du produit externe. Ces cartes ont été intégrées dans la carte mondiale uniquement lorsque les conditions suivantes étaient réunies :
- leur qualité et l’intérêt de leur contenu ont autorisé leur intégration et validation dans la Base de Données Sédimentologiques du Shom (BDSS) ;
- leur échelle est inférieure ou égale au 1/100 000.
Le produit a été élaboré à partir des cartes sédimentaires recensées, numérisées et intégrées dans la BDSS à partir de 1992. Une partie de ces cartes sont des synthèses de cartes qui sont elles-mêmes issues de la synthèse de données sédimentaires très diverses. Un grand nombre de ces compilations a été produit par le Shom. La compilation des cartes dans un document unique a nécessité la redéfinition des zones de recouvrement qui a été effectuée à partir des données de la morphologie des fonds et de la connaissance de la sédimentologie régionale (données bibliographiques et cartographiques).</gco:CharacterString>

                <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#EN">The information used for the development of this product is based on the nature map of the ocean floor published by UNESCO in 1972 and digitized by the Shom in 1995. The purpose of this initial rather coarse map was to provide basic information on to the nature of the seabed and mainly concerned the deep sea. It was gradually improved by the Shom which incorporated more precise maps produced by the Shom, digitized sedimentary maps or summary documents published by various organizations. These maps were previously edited and put into the format of the classification of the nature of the sediments established by the Shom. This version of the world map includes the maps listed in appendix 7.3. These maps were only integrated into the world map when the following conditions were met: - their quality and the interest of their content authorized their integration and validation in the Shom Sedimentological Database (BDSS); - their scale is less than or equal to 1 / 100,000. The product was developed from sedimentary maps identified, digitized and integrated into the BDSS from 1992 to 2020. Some of these maps are synthesis of maps which are themselves derived from the synthesis of very diverse sedimentary data. Many of these compilations were produced by the Shom. The compilation of all these maps in a single document required redefinitions of the overlap zones which were carried out from the data of the morphology and the knowledge of the regional sedimentology (bibliographic and cartographic data).</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
