Element Description

The Identifier element holds different types of granule identifiers.

Best Practices

There are three sub-elements that comprise the Data Granule Identifiers:

Identifier Type: The value for this field must be selected from a list of known identifier types. If the identifier is not included in the list, the enumeration value of '"Other' " may be selected, and the provider must specify the identifier's name. Available identifiers include:
- ProducerGranuleId
- LocalVersionId
- FeatureId
- CRID
- Other - select '"Other' " to provide an identifier not included in the list
Identifier: The identifier value, e. E.g. the CRID value, FeatureId value, etc.
Identifier Name: The name of the identifier. This field should only be populated if 'Other' is selected as the identifier type.

Examples:

Identifier Type: "ProducerGranuleId"

Identifier: "MERRA300.prod.assim.tavgU_3d_udt_Cp.200909.hdf"

Identifier Type: "CRID"

Identifier: "R16010"

Identifier Type: "Other"

Identifier: "2013_GR_NASA"

IdentifierName: "ThemeId"

Element Specification

Providing an Identifier is optional. More than 1 different type of identifier may be provided, but each type may only be used once (e.g. only one FeatureId may be provided, only one CRID may be provided, etc.) (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 inter-agency and international data providers and are referred to as the International Directory Network (IDN).

This element is categorized as low priority when:

N/A

Priority Categorization	Justification
Red = High Priority Finding	This element is categorized as highest priority when: An invalid identifier type Identifier Type is provided. Required fields are left blank. The 'Identifier Name' is left blank when the Identifier Type = '"Other'" The information provided is incorrect for the granule	This element is categorized as medium priority when: N/A	.
Yellow = Medium Priority Finding	Not Applicable
Blue = Low Priority Finding	Not Applicable
Green = No Findings/Issues	The element is provided and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above.

Checks

ARC uses the pyQuARC library for automated metadata checks. Please see the pyQuARC GitHub for more information.

Providing a Producer Granule Id or Local Version Id is optional in ECHO 10.

There are not special fields in ECHO 10 for CRID, FeatureId, or '"Other' " IDs. It is recommended that other types of granule identifiers be provided in the Additional Attributes metadata element in ECHO 10.

String

Provide the appropriate identifier name (see options to the left in blue) in the gmd:description field. This will ensure the appropriate identifier type is selected when converting from ISO to the UMM.

If the type of '"Other' " is selected, the value provided here will be mapped to the UMM field "Identifier Name". For example, the below string would translate to an Identifier Name of "ThemeId" in CMR:

<gmd:description>

<gco:CharacterString>OtherId: ThemeId</gco:CharacterString>

</gmd:description>
