1. Gather and organize the administrative information for your provider and your data collections
   
   1. Ensure that the data center(s) that archive, distribute, originate, and process your earth science data collections are included in the controlled vocabulary of Data Center names in the GCMD Keyword Management System (KMS) at GCMD Keyword Access.  
      If your data center(s) are already included in the controlled vocabulary, review each data center short name, long name, and data center url for accuracy.   
      If your data center(s) are not included, or there are errors in the short name, long name, or data center url, submit a request to add or update your data center information, per the instructions at Keyword FAQ#HowDoISubmitaKeywordRequestorIssue
   2. Select a provider name.   
      Provider names should be short and descriptive of the data center and/or mission.  
      Providers with shared missions may want to establish a common convention for provider names.  For example, for 'Land, Atmosphere Near real-time Capability for EOS (LANCE)' providers, consider using a naming convention such as 'LANCE<instrument>' (e.g., LANCEMODIS, LANCEAMSR2)
      Provider names may be related to the data center short name in the GCMD Keyword Management System
   3. Determine how many datasets (collections) you will have in the CMR, and gather the following information for each (you will be entering this information as collection metadata in the CMR):
      1. Short name
      2. Long name
      3. DOI (highly recommended)
      4. url of Landing page for collection information
      5. url(s) for distribution of data from the collection
      6. url(s) for services provided for data from the collection
      7. science keywords that apply to the collection (see GCMD Keyword Access)
      8. spatial coverage of the data in the collection
      9. temporal coverage of the data in the collection
      10. acquisition information about the data in the collection (platform, instrument)
   4. For each collection, determine whether the collection will be visible to guest users, registered users, or a restricted group of user (e.g., a science team)
   5. Determine who your CMR administrator will be.  This person will be responsible for working with the CMR OPS team to establish and maintain permissions, ordering configurations, and service configurations for your provider.
   6. Determine who will enter CMR metadata for your provider.   This person or persons will be responsible for creating collection level records in the CMR (using the Metadata Management Tool UI or the CMR Ingest API), and for ingesting granules into the CMR.
2. Work with the CMR OPS team to establish and test your provider in the CMRyour provider in the CMR.
3. Enter collection metadata in the CMR User Acceptance Test (UAT) environment.
4. Enter granule metadata in the CMR UAT environment.
5. Test search and order with the Earthdata Search Client in the UAT environment.
6. Enter collection metadata in the CMR Production environment.
7. Enter granule metadata in the CMR Production environment.
8. Test search and order with the Earthdata Search Client in the Production environment.
