Short Name

Element Description

The Short Name element contains an abbreviated name for a data set. The Short Name and Version Id combination must be unique across the CMR.

Best Practices

The Short Name is an abbreviated or shortened name used to identify a data set. The Short Name, in combination with the Version Id, uniquely describe a metadata record in the CMR per data provider. While the Short Name can be used as a unique identifier for a data set, it should never be the same as the data set DOI.

Examples:

"AIRIBQAP"

"gpmrgachiphx"

"FIFE_RAIN_30M_2"

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).

Please see the expandable sections below for flowchart details.

GCMD Metadata QA/QC

Manual Review
- Identify errors, discrepancies or omissions.
- Proof all content for conciseness and readability.
Automated Review
- Check that the field has been populated.
- Check that the field length is not greater than 85 characters.
- Check that the field value does not match the Entry Title.

CMR Validation

This element is required
Must contain at least 1 character and be no longer than 85 characters in length
The ShortName together with the Version must be unique per data provider

ARC Metadata QA/QC

ARC Priority Matrix

Priority Categorization	Justification
	This element is categorized as highest priority when: The element is not included at all. The element is included but is empty. The value in the element is identical to the Entry Title. The value in the element is identical to the DOI. The value in the element is incorrect for the data set.
	Not applicable
	Not applicable
	The element is provided and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above.
