Dataset / Granule / Metadata Identifiers

The importance of unique identifiers for data is well understood in terms of data citation and unambiguous attribution. As metadata are shared between National and International repositories it is becoming increasing important to be able to unambiguously identify and refer to

     specific records. This requirement is facilitated by including an identifier for metadata and data in the metadata.

Some mechanism must exist for ensuring that these identifiers are unique. This is accomplished by specifying the naming authority or namespace for the identifier. It is the

     responsibility of the manager of the namespace to ensure that the identifiers in that namespace are unique.

Metadata Record Identifier

A unique identifier for the metadata record

Text searches are a very important mechanism for data discovery. This group includes attributes that contain descriptive text that could be the target of these searches. Some of these attributes, for example title and summary, might also be displayed in the results of text

     searches.

Spatial and Temporal Search

This basic extent information supports spatial/temporal searches that are increasingly important as the number of map based search interfaces increases. Many of the attributes included in this spiral can be calculated from the data if the file is compliant with the NetCDF Climate

     and Forecast (CF) Metadata Convention. Describes a simple latitude, longitude, vertical and temporal bounding box. For

a more detailed geospatial coverage, see the suggested geospatial attributes. Further refinement of the geospatial bounding box can be provided by using these units and

     resolution attributes. Many of these extent attributes are calculated using the CF-Conventions.
