Element Description

The File Naming Convention refers to the naming convention of the data set's (Collection's) data files along with a description of the granule file construction.

Best Practices

Convention should be a representation of what "fields" may make up the composite parts of a file name, such as dates and IDs.

Description should be used to describe the meaning of what is in the Convention field.

Examples:

FileNamingConvention/Convention: "ESDT.AYYYYDDD.HHMM.VID.YYYYDDDHHMMSS.Format"

FileNamingConvention/Description: "An example file name is VNP01.A2016202.2200.001.2016203071541.nc"

Element Specification

FileNamingConvention is not required. Only one FileNamingConvention may be provided (Cardinality: 0..1)

Metadata Validation and QA/QC

All metadata entering the CMR goes through the below process to ensure metadata quality requirements are met. All records undergo CMR validation before entering the system. The process of QA/QC is slightly different for NASA and non-NASA data providers. Non-NASA providers include interagency and international data providers and are referred to as the International Directory Network (IDN).

Please see the expandable sections below for flowchart details. 


  • Manual Review
    • Check that there is at least a brief summary of the data.
    • Confirm that other URLs link to the appropriate web pages.
    • Identify errors, discrepancies or omissions.
    • Proof all content for conciseness and readability.
  • Automated Review
    • Check that the field length is not greater than 40,000 characters.
    • Check that the field length is at least 1 character.
    • Check that the convention field has been populated.
  • Must contain at least 1 character and be no longer than 4000 characters in length
