Element Description
Note: This page is a draft/ work in progress
The Paleo Temporal Coverage element defines the time period in which for geologic and/or paleoclimate data collection occurred. The element is predominantly used for data collection samples that occurred originated prior to 01-01-0001. As a result, it is not an element that is commonly used.
Best Practices
Paleo Temporal Coverage tags identify time periods where geologic and paleoclimate data collection occurred. The time period tags can be chosen used to simply classify identify the start and end dates for data collection or they can more specifically identify the era, eon and stage, just to name a few tags, for the data collection time period. However, it . There is also the option to provide the names of the eon, era, period, epoch and stage associated with the data collection. It is suggested that Paleo Temporal Coverage tags are as specific as possible to aid in data discovery. The names of eons, eras, periods, epochs and stages must be selected from a controlled vocabulary list managed by the Keyword Management System (KMS). Because the tags are KMS controlled, if a specific tag is not already included in the KMS, a request to have it added can be made through the GCMD Keywords Community Forum.

Element Specification
Paleo Temporal Coverage is an optional metadata element, and should only be provided if it is applicable to the dataset. The Paleo Temporal Coverage element may not be repeated (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 and international data providers and are referred to as the International Directory Network (IDN).
