View source for Best Practices for Developing and Maintaining a Metadata Catalogue System - The NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Perspective

Abstract:

Metadata catalogue systems that promote access to data and data-related
services evolve over time through input from the science community and
technological trends.  Recognizing the importance of input from a
diverse community can be attributed to the long-term success of NASA's
Global Change Master Directory (GCMD), which has been assisting users in
finding Earth science data for almost 20 years.  Additionally, access to
data-related services has also been beneficial in helping users utilize,
visualize, analyze, handle, manage, and model Earth science data.  Best
practices for developing and maintaining our system for Data-Related
Services will be discussed, along with some insight into who the users
are and how they play a role in software development.
