The spiral below lists recommended attributes for the Earth Observation System Data and Information Core System (ECS) metadata model. Where compatible the spiral provides xpath references for DIF, ECHO, ECS, DCAT, ISO, ISO-1 and FGDC documentation dialects.
==ECS for Data Discovery - Recommended==
This spiral includes the attributes recommended for use with the NASA ECS metadata model. A more detailed descripion of these attributes can be found in the EMD Technical Paper.

| Temporal Range Type | Informs the system and ultimately the end user how the temporal coverage is specified for the collection, granule, or event. | ECS /*/ecs:Temporal/ecs:TemporalRangeType |
| Time Type | Provides the time system which the values found in temporal subclasses represent. | ECS /*/ecs:Temporal/ecs:TimeType |
xPath Note: The xPaths included in this table use several wildcards. // means any path, so //gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty indicates a gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty anywhere in an XML file. /*/ indicates a single level with several possible elements. This usually indicates one of several concrete realizations of an abstract object. For example /*/gmd:identificationInfo could be gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo or gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo and gmd:identificationInfo/*/gmd:descriptiveKeywords could be gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords or gmd:identificationInfo/srv:SV_ServiceIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords. Fit: The fit of the dialect path with the concept is estimated on a scale of 1 = excellent two-way fit, 2 = one-way fit or some other problem, 3 - extension required. xPath Note: The xPaths included in this table use several wildcards. // means any path, so //gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty indicates a gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty anywhere in an XML file. /*/ indicates a single level with several possible elements.
