The XPaths provided on the following pages were current as of 12/2012.  A more current mapping has been developed and is available here. The XPaths on the following child pages will be updated ASAP.

The XPaths notwithstanding, information contained on the following child pages remains current and can be helpful in constructing schemas for new missions.

 

Introduction

The relationship between the ECHO attributes and the NASA Best Practices for ISO is complex. The following pages contain valuable and up-to-date information on ECHO and ISO data structures and attributes. The pages are organized thematically and contain information that may assist users updating their knowledge of ECS.
