Element Specification

An unlimited amount of Related URLs may be listed (Cardinality: 10..*)

Model	Element	Type	Usable Valid Values	Constraints	Required?	Cardinality	Notes
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/URL	String	n/a	1 - 1024 characters	Yes	1	The GET DATA URL should point the user to a location where data files may be directly downloaded.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/Description	String	n/a	1 - 4000 characters	No	0..1	It is strongly recommended that a description be provided for each URL.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/URLContentType	Enumeration	CollectionURL PublicationURL DataCenterURL DistributionURL DataContactURL VisualizationURL	n/a	Yes	1	"DistributionURL" is the only valid option for links used to obtain the data.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/Type	String	KMS controlled	n/a	Yes	1	"GET DATA" should be provided as the Type.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/Subtype	String	KMS controlled	n/a	No	0..1	The Type and Subtype are part of a keyword hierarchy specified in the KMS. Any Subtype listed get after GET DATA in the keyword list is a valid option. If none of the available Subtypes are appropriate for the URL, then it is okay to leave the Subtype field blank.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/GetData/Format	String	KMS controlled	n/a	Yes	1	Are we keeping this field? The format of the data provided via the associated URL.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/GetData/MimeType	String	KMS controlled	n/a	No	0..1	The mime type of the associated URL.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/GetData/Size	Number	n/a	n/a	Yes	1	Really only makes sense to provide if the link is a direct download. Is this going to remain a required field? The size of the data obtained via the associated URL.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/GetData/Unit	Enumeration	KB MB GB TB PB	n/a	Yes	1	Really only makes sense to provide if the link is a direct download. Is this going to remain a required field? Unit is required if information is provided in the 'Size' element.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/GetData/Fees	String	n/a	1 - 80 characters	No	0..1	The fee (if any) for ordering the data. The fee should be a number in U.S. dollars.
UMM-Common	RelatedUrls/GetData/Checksum	String	n/a	1 - 50 characters	No	0..1	Does it only make sense to provide a checksum if the link directly downloads a file? Or should you provide one if the link just takes you to another web page e.g. a 'data tree' type of page? Would like to provide some guidelines for when use of this field is encouraged.

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).

ARC Priority Matrix

Priority Categorization	Justification
	This element is categorized as highest priority when: A GET DATA URL is not provided in the metadata The link labeled as GET DATA is broken The element is not included at all.link is mislabeled as GET DATA (i.e. the link serves a purpose other than data access) The GET DATA link is labeled incorrectly (i.e. a data access link is provided in the metadata but it is labeled as something else) The GET DATA link is provided via FTP The GET DATA link fails to take the user as directly as possible to the described data The URL Type or Subtype provided does not align with the KMS The Type or Subtype does not exist in KMS The Type or Subtype is placed in the incorrect position of the hierarchy (e.g. GET DATA should not be provided in the Subtype field, because it is categorized as a Type keyword in the KMS) There is an invalid Type/Subtype relationship (e.g. Type: GET DATA, Subtype: USER'S GUIDE, is not a valid combination in the KMS) The URL Type or Subtype provided does not accurately describe the link The mime type provided is incorrect The data format provided is incorrect
	This element is categorized as medium priority when: The 'Description' element is left blank. It is highly recommended that a description be provided for each URL. This element is categorized as medium priority when:
	This element is categorized as low priority when:
	The element is provided, and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above.
