Understanding usage, completeness and consistency of Responsibilities and Parties in ESDIS metadata is an important first step towards providing consistent and complete services to users of those data. This report provides an initial assessment of these characteristics.

Table 1. Metadata collections and number of records
We examined 2158 metadata records from 15 collections (Table 1) We examined 4180 metadata records from 17 collections extracted from the CMR during March 2015 and 2126 metadata records from 15 collections extracted from the CMR during October 2015 (Collections Examined). For each recommended responsibility we provide a table that gives the average number of occurrences for elements of the associated party in each of these collections. A value of 1 or more typically (although not necessarily) indicates that the element is included one or more times in each record in a collection. A value < 1.0 is typically the percentage of records in a collection that include the metadata element. Empty cells indicate values of 0 – the element is completely missing from the collection. Two other collections (Oak Ridge DAAC and Ocean Biology Processing Group) are missing from this interim report for technical reasons. Data for those collections will be included ASAP.
