Element Description
Note: This page is a draft/ work in progress
The Paleo Temporal Coverage element defines the time period in which geologic and/or paeloclimate data collection occurred. The element is predominantly used for data collection that occurred prior to 01-01-0001. As a result, it is not an element that is commonly used.
Best Practices
Paleo Temporal Coverage keywords identify areas where data collection occurred. The keywords can be chosen to classify broad study areas/regions or very specific places. However, it is suggested that location keywords are as specific as possible to aid in data discovery. At bare minimum, a location keyword/category is required in the hierarchy, which provides a general area of data collection. It is also recommended that this If a specific location keyword is not already included in the KMS, a request to have it added can be made through the GCMD Keywords Community Forum.

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).
