Element Description
This The Metadata Association element is used to identify other services, collections, visualizations, granules, and other metadata types and resources that are associated with or dependent on metadata resources that are dependent on or related to the data described by the metadata. Such metadata resources may include (but are not limited to): services, other collections, visualizations, variables, granules, documents, etc.
Best Practices
This element is also Metadata Association is an optional element. It can be used to identify a parent metadata record if resources stored in different metadata records that are related to the data and can also be used to define relationships between collections. For instance, a metadata association can be used to identify a parent metadata record if it exists. This usage should be reserved for instances where a group of metadata records are subsets that can be better represented by one parent metadata record, which describes the entire set. In some instances, a 'child' metadata record may point to more than one 'parent'.
There are four sub-elements that comprise Metadata Association:
Entry ID: Short-name of the target metadata record that is associated with this collection record.
The association must be made to another collection level metadata record (via the Entry Id sub-element, which should contain the related collection's Short Name) and then the Type and Description fields can be used to further explain the relationship (whether it be to the collection itself, or to a component provided in the other collection's metadata such as a service, document, visualization, etc.).
There are four sub-elements that comprise Metadata Association:
Entry ID: The Short Name Version: The version of the target metadata record that is associated with this the collection record. The Entry ID is required and should point to another collection level metadata record that includes the related information.
TypeVersion: The type of association between this collection metadata record and version of the target metadata record . Choose type from the drop-down list.that is associated with the collection record. Providing a version is optional but is recommended if the associated collection has multiple available versions.
Type: The type of association between the collection metadata Description: Free-text description of the association between this collection record and the target metadata record.
Examples:
Type: "INPUT"
Description: "Raw sensor counts to be converted to radiometric values"
EntryId: "AST_L1A"
Version: "4"
Providing a Type is optional but recommended. This is a controlled vocabulary field and must be select from the following options:
- SCIENCE ASSOCIATED: There is an associated science resource (such as a document or data) in the target metadata record.
- DEPENDENT: The collection is somehow dependent on the target record.
- INPUT: The target record is an input to the collection. For example, the target record could be a lower level data product that was input to an algorithm and processed to create the collection.
- PARENT: The target record is a parent of the collection. This means the collection is a subset or 'child' of a larger parent collection.
- CHILD: The target record is a child of the collection. This means the collection is a parent record with a number of associated 'child' records.
- RELATED: The target record is somehow related to the collection.
- LARGER CITATION WORKS: There is a document cited in the target record that is related to the collection.
Description: Free-text description of the association between the collection and the target metadata record. Providing a description is optional but can be important for identifying a specific related resource such as a document, citation or piece of data in the target metadata record (recommended for SCIENCE ASSOCIATED, DEPENDENT, INPUT, RELATED and LARGER CITATION WORKS association types).
Examples:
EntryId: "AST_L1A"
Version: "4"
Type: "INPUT"
Description: "Raw sensor counts that were converted to radiometric values found in this collection."
EntryId: "Polarimetric_CT_1602"
Version: "1"
Type: "RELATED"
Description: "This related dataset contains forest vertical structure and associated uncertainty products over the same study area derived by applying multi-baseline Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolInSAR) and Polarimetric Coherence Tomographic SAR (PCT or PC-TomoSAR)."

Metadata Validation and QA/QC
All metadata
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).
