   1. Select a provider name.   
      Provider names should be short and descriptive of the data center and/or mission.  
      Providers with shared missions may want to establish a common convention for provider names.  For example, for 'Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE)' providers, consider using a naming convention such as 'LANCE<instrument>' (e.g., LANCEMODIS, LANCEAMSR2)
      Provider names may be related to the data center short name in the GCMD Keyword Management System.
