The project report forms part of the archive (see Project report) and it is useful to provide some basic information also as metadata in tabular form.

Report title	The title of the report that has been generated from the results of the survey should be included in the metadata.
Report reference number	Contractors and researchers should annotate their report with a reference number. This could also be an ISBN, ISSN or DOI.
Report author	All authors of the report should be listed.
Report holder	It is important to provide the name and address of the organisation(s) or individual(s) from whom copies of the report, or data, may be requested. Often a copy of the report may be deposited with the relevant council office. In some cases permission may be required from client and surveyor to access the report and this information should be provided here.

The summary or abstract of the report is best stored in the project field Survey summary.
