Element Description
The Version element indicates the version of the
Best Practices
The version should be throughout the metadata record. The version in the metadata should be identical to the version specified on the dataset landing page and in dataset documentation. For example, if the dataset landing page specifies the dataset as version 1.1, then the version number in the metadata should also be 1.1 (e.g. not 1.10). If the version in the title is specified as 3.4.2004 then the version in the metadata should also be 3.4.2004 (e.g. not 03.04.2004).
Examples:
"2.0"
"1"
"007"
Element Specification
Model | Element | Type | Constraints | Required? | Cardinality |
---|
UMM-C | Version | String | | Yes | 1 |
Note: The short name and version combination must be unique across the CMR.
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
- Check that the version value is appropriate for the dataset.
- Automated Review
- Check that the field has been populated.
- Check that the field length is not greater than 80 characters.
CMR Validation
- This element is required
- Must contain at least 1 character and be no longer than 80 characters in length
- The ShortName together with the Version must be unique per data provider

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 version is incorrect for the associated data.
|
| Not applicable |
| Not applicable |
| The element is provided, and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above. |
ARC Automated Checks
- Checks to see if a Version ID is provided; if not, return is: "Recommend providing a Version ID for this dataset, as this is a required field."
- Otherwise, return is "OK"
