This report updates the metadata evaluation that we did during 2016 and provides an opportunity to identify how the CMR metadata have evolved over the year. The total number of records increased by over 50% during this time. We introduced a new visualization to summarize this comparison. This Table summarizes the results and provides links to Tables that show the elements that changed:
