Element Description

Provides additional or provider defined identifiers of the collection.

Best Practices

Description should be used to describe the meaning of what is in the Type field when Type is Other.

When using ISO to document the Type and DescriptionOfOtherType, it is better (but not required) to put the two values on separate lines in the gco:CharacterString tag, for readability.

Examples:

OtherIdentifiers/Identifier: ECS-1474

OtherIdentifiers/Type: Other

OtherIdentifiers/DescriptionOfOtherType: Ticket number related to this data.

Element Specification

Abstract is required. Only one Abstract may be provided (Cardinality: 1)

Model	Element	Type	Constraints	Required?	Cardinality	Notes
UMM-C	OtherIdentifiers	Object		No	0..1
UMM-C	OtherIdentifiers/Identifier	String	1 to 1024 characters	Yes	1
UMM-C	OtherIdentifiers/Type	Enumeration	Valid values: ArchiveSetNumbers, Other	Yes	1
UMM-C	OtherIdentifiers/DescriptionOfOtherType	String	1 to 1024 characters	Yes if Type=Other	0..1	Required if OtherIdentifiers/Type is 'Other'

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
- Check that there is at least a brief summary of the data.
- Confirm that other URLs link to the appropriate web pages.
- Identify errors, discrepancies or omissions.
- Proof all content for conciseness and readability.
Automated Review
- Check that the field length is not greater than 40,000 characters.
- Check that the field length is at least 50 characters.
- Check that the field has been populated.
- Check for potential broken links.
