Element Description

The Entry Title element describes states the title of the dataset.

Best Practices

The Entry Title should be a descriptive, formal title of the dataset. The Entry Title should not be the same as the Short Name element. It is recommended that the Entry Title follow a mixed case capitalization scheme and that the use of special characters (such as underscores) and acronyms be kept to a minimum, if possible. In order to make titles descriptive, important elements about the data may be included, such as: parameters measured, geographic location, instrument, project, temporal coverage, etc.

Examples:

"The San Joaquin Valley Air Quality Study (SJVAQS) Atmospheric Signatures, Predictions, and Experiments (AUSPEX) Database"

"Aquarius Official Release Level 3 Sea Surface Salinity Smoothed Standard Mapped Image Monthly Data V4.0"

"The Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) Level II, III, and IV Data Products"

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).

Manual Review
- Identify errors, discrepancies or omissions.
- Proof all content for conciseness and readability.
Automated Review
- Check that the field has been populated.
- Check that the field length is not greater than 1,030 characters.
- Check that the field value does not match the Entry ID.

ARC Priority Matrix

Priority Categorization	Justification
	This element is categorized as highest priority when: The element is not included at all. The element is included but is empty. The value in the element is identical to the Short Name. The value in the element is in an abbreviated format (similar, but not necessarily identical to, the short name). The value in the element contains a spelling error. The value in the element includes incorrect information about the dataset.
	Not applicable
	Not applicable
	The element is provided, and is a formal title for the dataset (i.e. it is not the same as the short name and is free of grammatical and content errors).

ARC Automated Checks

Checks if a value is provided. If not, return is: "Recommending a "*data set ID/entry title*" for this data set, as this is a required field."
If a value is provided, return is "OK."
