• Modified some "Sub_Category" (formerly "Series_Entity") Keywords for constancy.
  • Old: DMSP(Defense Meteorological Satellite Program)
  • New: Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP)

• KMS RESTful (KMS)
  • Modified KMS RESTful CSV Output for new column headers

    • Old:               Category | Series_Entity   | Short_Name   | Long_Name   | UUID

• GCMD Keyword Viewer (GKV)
  • Supports the new Platform Hierarchy.

• No Action needed for portals.
• Metadata curators creating new metadata must use the new "Category" values in the UMM-C/PlatformType "Type"field (if Cmr-Validate-Keywords=True)Cmr-Validate-Key
  
  • Support for new "Type" keywords is built in if you use MMT or dMMT to create a new collection.

  • Example: Platform Keyword with old value and with new value

    title Example: Platform Keyword with old value and with new value (ECHO-10)
    ECHO-10 - Old: <Platforms> <Platform> <ShortName>NASA DC-8</ShortName> <LongName>NASA Douglas DC-8</LongName> <Type>Aircraft</Type> <Instruments> <Instrument> <ShortName>Cameras</ShortName> </Instrument> </Instruments> </Platform> </Platforms> New: <Platforms> <Platform> <ShortName>NASA DC-8</ShortName> <LongName>NASA Douglas DC-8</LongName> <Type>Jet</Type> <Instruments> <Instrument> <ShortName>Cameras</ShortName> </Instrument> </Instruments> </Platform> </Platforms>

• Metadata curators updating existing metadata where the "Category" values in the UMM-C/PlatformType "Type"field have changed can update their metadata over time as Progressive Update permits ingest of metadata with existing errors (for as long as new errors are not introduced).
