Element Description
The Project element describes the scientific endeavor(s) with which the collection is associated. Scientific endeavors include field campaigns, flight campaigns, projects, interdisciplinary science investigations, missions, scientific programs, etc. This element may also cover a long term project that continuously creates new data setsdatasets.
Best Practices
Project names are important for data search and discovery. In order to provide a consistent search experience, project Project names are controlled by GCMD vocabulary maintained in the Keyword Management System (KMS). This is especially important for faceted searches by project Project name in the Earthdata Search Client. A list of valid project Project keywords can be found here: https://gcmdservicesgcmd.gsfcearthdata.nasa.gov/kms/concepts/concept_scheme/projects?format=csv
Providing a Project is optional, however, it is highly recommended that a Project be provided in the metadata if possible. If a data set dataset is associated with more than one Project, then multiple Projects may be listed. Project also includes the 'Campaign' sub-element in order to support multiple sub-campaigns under the same projectProject. The following sub-elements are used to describe Project:
ShortName: If the Project element is provided, then the Short Name field is required. The Project Short Name must be selected from the 'Short_Name' column in the GCMD Project Keyword list. Project names are controlled to ensure ensure consistency when searching for data using keywords or via the Project faceted search.
LongName: Providing a Project Long Name in optionalis optional, however, it is encouraged that a long name be provided if one exists in the GCMD Project Keyword list. Providing a Project Long Name is encouraged because the associated Project Short Name may be comprised of acronyms. Project Long Names should be selected from the Long_Name column in the keyword list.
Campaign: The Campaign sub-element can be used to list the names of smaller projects/campaigns which fall within the scope of the Project listed. If necessary, multiple Campaigns may be associated with a single Project.
StartDate: The Start Date should indicate the date that the Project began. Providing the Start Date is optional.
EndDate: The End Date should indicate the date that the Project ended/will end. For Projects that are still underway, the End Date may be in the future. Providing the End Date for the Project is optional.
Examples:
ShortName: ISLSCP II
LongName: International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project II
StartDate: 1986-01-01
EndDate: 1995-12-31
ShortName: MEaSUREs
LongName: Making Earth System Data Records for Use in Research Environments
Campaign: NVAP-M

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).
