Element Description

The temporal keyword element specifies a word or phrase which serves to summarize the temporal characteristics of a dataset.

Best Practices

Temporal Keywords is an optional element. There is not a controlled vocabulary for temporal keywords. If this element is utilized it is recommended that a consistent naming convention be developed for related records or for records from the same data center.  

Examples:

TemporalKeywords: "Weekly"

TemporalKeywords: "Subannual"

TemporalKeywords: "Annual Climatology" 


Element Specification

Providing the Temporal Keyword element is optional. Multiple Temporal Keywords may be provided (Cardinality: 0..*)

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).

titleGCMD Metadata QA/QC
  • Manual Review
    • Identify errors, discrepancies or omissions.
    • Verify that all pertinent keywords have been applied.
    • Verify that existing facets and other controlled keyword values are consistent and suitable for the data.
  • Automated Review
    • Check that the field has been populated.
    • Check that the field is populated with a valid value from KMS.
    • Check that the field value is not a duplicate.
    • Check that the 'Detailed_Variable' field length is not greater than 80 characters.

ARC Priority Matrix

Priority CategorizationJustification

Red = High Priority Finding

This element is categorized as highest priority when:

  • The Temporal Keyword is not appropriate for the dataset.

Yellow = Medium Priority Finding

This element is categorized as medium priority when:

  • A recommendation is made to change a Temporal Keyword to be more accurate or more consistent with related collections.

Blue = Low Priority Finding

This element is categorized as low priority when:

  • The element is included but is empty (i.e. empty temporal keywords tags are provided in the metadata record).
  • A recommendation is made to add a relevant Temporal Keyword to the metadata.

Green = No Findings/Issues

The element is provided and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above.

ARC Automated Checks

If no value isprovided, return is "np"If a value is provided, return is "OK"

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