ESIP Winter Meeting 2015
Some Background
• NASA’s EOSDIS System has two
metadata catalogs.
– GCMD: Global Change Master Directory
– ECHO: EOS Clearinghouse
• These systems are being combined into
the Common Metadata Repository (CMR)
So What’s the Problem?
“Metadata serves as the foundation for
data discovery for all of EOSDIS. ”
To be most effective, metadata must to be:
• Simple to generate, submit, and
maintain
• Consistent and informative
When we have high-quality, reliable, and consistent
metadata, we can begin building truly insightful systems
for scientific problem solving.
Just looking at Collections…
• Many metadata dialects CMR must handle
– ISO 19115
– DIF
– ECHO10
– More? Gosh I hope not.
• Several core concepts
– Data Identification
– Descriptive Keywords
– Extent Information
– Acquisition Information
Streamlining Via The UMM
• UMM: Unified Metadata Model (Mapping)
– Several Profiles
• Collections
• Granules (File)
• Services
• Visualizations
– Crosswalk across many core elements and
formats

Why Not Just Stick to ISO 19115?
We sort of are.

Why Not Just Stick to ISO 19115?
Part 2
• We want minimal impact on existing
metadata in the catalog
• The UMM is being built with ISO 19115 in
mind as its backbone.
• ISO 19115 is where we want to be
– Modular and flexible
– Internationally Accepted
– Allows for extension and revision

UMM-* Development Outline
• Stakeholder Interviews
• Surveying Existing Implementations
• Defining and Crosswalking Fields
• Defining Relationships
• Identifying Subsystem Interactions
• Tailoring Lifecycle
• ESDIS Standards Office (ESO) review
Current Work and Future Plans
• Collections and Granules just completed ESO review
• CMR is using provisional versions of these models for its search
• Services and Visualizations are under development
• Metadata Reconciliation between ECHO and GCMD is underway
• Next Steps: Parameters, Documentation and Meta-Metadata

Example activities might include:
• REST API migration
• Metadata merge working meetings
• Adapter development
CMR Resources may be available if
needed
Each DAAC’s process will be
unique.
