Element Description

The archive and distribution information main element allows data providers to provide users information of what is available for downloading when they are initially looking at a collection. The end users get information such as the average downloadable file size, format, mime type, checksum, an estimate of the collection's entire downloadable file size, etc.

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.


  • Manual Review
    • Identify errors, discrepancies or omissions.
    • Verify that all pertinent keywords have been applied.
    • Verify that existing facets and other controlled keyword values are consistent and suitable for the data.
  • Automated Review
    • Check that the field has been populated.
    • Check that the field is populated with a valid value from KMS.
    • Check that the field value is not a duplicate.
    • Check that the field length is not greater than the maximum characters allowed for each sub-element.
    • Check that the field '/Instrument/NumberOfSensors' is an integer value.
  • The specific instrument must be unique within the collection. The uniqueness is established by combining the instrument short name along with its characteristic's name.
  • The instrument short name must match with what is in the KMS.
  • If a granule has an instrument short name in it, it must match to one that is defined in the collection.
  • If removing an instrument from a collection, none of its granules can reference that instrument's short name.

Instrument is an optional metadata element, however, it is strongly recommended that it be provided when possible. Multiple Instruments may be listed if necessary (Cardinality: 0..*).

Providing instrument characteristics is optional. An unlimited amount of instrument characteristics may be specified for a particular instrument (Cardinality: 0..*). If instrument characteristics are provided, all 5 sub-fields (Name, Description, DataType, Unit, Value) are required.
