Element Description

The Directory Name element is an element that was used historically by the GCMD internally to identify association, responsibility and/or ownership of a dataset, service or supplemental information. Note that the use of this element is discouraged as it will be deprecated sometime in the future.

Best Practices

Directory Name controlled vocabulary: https://gcmd.earthdata.nasa.gov/kms/concepts/concept_scheme/idnnode?format=csv

Examples:

DirectoryName: "AMD/AU"

DirectoryName: "SOOS"

Element Specification

Model	Element	Type	Constraints	Required?	Cardinality
UMM-C	DirectoryName	String	KMS controlled	No	0..*

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.
- 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 1,030 characters.
- Check that the field value does not match the Entry ID.

ARC Priority Matrix

Priority Categorization	Justification
Red = High Priority Finding	Not applicable
Yellow = Medium Priority Finding	This element is categorized as medium priority when: Evidence suggests that the Directory Name is incorrect for the dataset.
Blue = Low Priority Finding	Not applicable
Green = No Findings/Issues	The element is provided and follows all applicable criteria specified in the best practices section above.

ARC Automated Checks

ARC uses the pyQuARC library for automated metadata checks. Please see the pyQuARC GitHub for more information.
