Element Description

Abstract provides a brief description of the resource the metadata represents. This element allows markdown-formatted text and line breaks within the text are preserved. Additional information on markdown can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown. 


Best Practices

The abstract should summarize the data set and mimic a journal abstract that is useful to the science community but also approachable for a first time user of the data. The following information should be included (when applicable):

  • The temporal range of the data set
  • The names of platforms, instruments, and/or methods used to collect data
  • The spatial coverage of the data (including any gaps in coverage)
  • A brief explanation of processing applied to the data 
  • The format data is provided in and whether proprietary software is required to use it
  • Units the data is provided in
  • Spatial and temporal resolution of the data
  • Similarities and differences of these data to other closely related data sets
  • The purpose and/or intended use of the data (especially if the <Purpose> element is not populated)
  • If the data were collected as part of a campaign, a brief description of the campaign and how the data set fits into the picture of the campaign
  • Any other pertinent information a user might find helpful

In addition, the abstract should utilize a standard mixed case capitalization scheme. All acronyms should be defined. All sentences should be complete sentences and proper grammar should be used.

Priority CategorizationJustification

This element is categorized as highest priority when:

  • The element is not included at all.
  • The element is included but is empty.
  • The abstract contains a spelling or grammatical error.
  • The abstract is a copy of the short name or data set title.
  • The abstract is comprised of a single incomplete sentence.
  • The information provided in the abstract is inaccurate.
  • The information provided in the abstract is unclear or difficult to understand.
  • A broken link is contained in the abstract.

  • An acronym needs to be defined in the abstract.
  • Information that would make the abstract more robust is missing from the abstract.

  • A link needs to be updated from 'http' to 'https' in the abstract.
  • The title of the data set is not included in the first sentence of the abstract.

The element is provided, and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above.

<Summary>
  <Abstract>The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is a grating spectrometer (R = 1200) aboard the second Earth Observing System (EOS) polar-orbiting platform, EOS Aqua. In combination with the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) and the Humidity Sounder for Brazil (HSB), AIRS constitutes an innovative atmospheric sounding group of visible, infrared, and microwave sensors. The AIRS Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Standard Retrieval Product consists of retrieved estimates of CO2, plus estimates of the errors associated with the retrieval. In contrast to AIRX2RET, the horizontal resolution of this standard product is about 110 km (1x1 degree). An AIRS granule has been set as 6 minutes of data, 15 footprints cross track by 22 lines along track.</Abstract>
