Element Description

The Reprocessing Actual element states what reprocessing has been performed on the granule.


Best Practices

The Reprocessing Actual element describes whether reprocessing has been performed on the granule. It can also be used to provide details on when the reprocessing occurred or the type of reprocessing that occurred. Note that this field is intended to describe past reprocessing. To describe plans for future reprocessing, please use the Reprocessing Planned element. Information provided should be kept brief as there is an 80 character limit for this field.  

Examples:

Reprocessing Actual: "Reprocessed"

Reprocessing Actual: "Processed once"

Reprocessing Actual: "Reprocessed in 2008 and 2016 to include new variables."


Element Specification

The Reprocessing Actual element is optional for UMM-G (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).

ARC Priority Matrix

Red = high priority finding

High priority findings emphasize several characteristics of metadata quality including completeness, accuracy, and accessibility. For high priority findings, completeness is measured by a metadata record's compliance with required UMM elements. Any UMM required elements that are missing or incorrect will be prioritized as red. Accuracy is assessed by comparing how well the metadata record describes the actual data. Incorrect or outdated information will be prioritized as red. Lastly, accessibility is evaluated by any barriers that may occur in accessing the described data. Therefore, broken URLs, broken services and incorrect persistent identifiers are prioritized as red.

In general, high priority findings include (but are not limited to):

  • Broken URLs
  • Spelling and grammatical errors
  • Incorrect usage of controlled vocabulary
  • Required fields which are left blank
  • Outdated/incorrect information

Findings flagged as red are required to be addressed by the data provider.

Yellow = medium priority finding

Medium priority findings emphasize consistency and completeness. Consistency is assessed by ensuring that similar information is presented the same way across collections. Consistency makes searching for data easier and more reliable for the user. For yellow findings, the idea of completeness is expanded to include information beyond what is required by the UMM. In summary, information that makes the metadata more complete and facilitates discovery for the user beyond UMM requirements is prioritized as yellow.

In general, medium priority findings include (but are not limited to):

  • Highly recommended (but not required) content is missing from the metadata
  • Recommended revisions to existing content

Data providers are highly encouraged to address yellow findings and are encouraged to provide a rationale for unaddressed items.

Blue = low priority finding

Low priority findings also focus on completeness, consistency, and accuracy. Any additional information that may be provided to make the metadata more robust or complete is categorized as blue. Additionally, any minor inaccuracies or inconsistencies are categorized as blue. In general, low priority findings include (but are not limited to):

  • Minor errors and inconsistencies that are unlikely to have a significant impact on data discoverability 
  • Informational comments

Addressing blue findings are optional and up to the discretion of the data provider. Data providers are encouraged to provide a rationale for unaddressed blue items for the purposes of tracking updated quality metrics.

Green = no findings/issuesMetadata elements flagged green are free of issues and require no action on behalf of the data provider
Priority CategorizationJustification

This element is categorized as highest priority when:

  • The information provided is incorrect for the granule
  • The information contains a spelling or grammatical error.
