Description

This attribute will denote that a data collection which covers, temporally, a discontinuous range, currently ends at the present date. This way, the granules which comprise the data collection that are continuously being added to inven-tory need not update the data collection metadata for each one. Note that MODIS granules may be added several thousand times a day, making the update of the data collection metadata impractical.
