  3. What are Metadata? • Metadata are descriptive information about the data, employing a common set of terms and definitions • An Earth Science Data Type (ESDT) is the interface between the science data and the ECS system How are Metadata Used in ECS? • Search and access of data • Inventory searches submitted by users via the ECS Client • Collection discovery via the Advertising Service • Other uses • Subscriptions based on metadata • Staging of input files based on metadata for Data Processing (e.g., time, location, version)

  4. Overview: Role of ESDTs • Representation of data products from the Earth Scientist’s perspective • Earth Science Data Types (ESDTs) embody the core science data knowledge for data products contained in the EOS Data and Information System (EOSDIS) • Mechanism used to inform the Science Data Server about • Core and product-specific metadata attribute values for each collection and data granule • EOSDIS Core System (ECS) Data Server services (e.g., Insert, Search, Acquire) which can be invoked for the collection • One ESDT per collection • Before a new collection can be added to ECS • An ESDT must be created and submitted to Science Data Server (SDSRV), a component of the Data Server Subsystem (DSS)

  5. Overview: Role of ESDTs (Cont.) • An ESDT, added to the SDSRV, defines to the ECS subsystems • Collection level metadata attributes and values • Granule metadata attributes, source of attribute values and attribute valid values • Product-Specific attributes and their valid values and ranges • Subscribable events • Services

  6. Overview: Role of ESDTs (Cont.) • Each ESDT consists of two components • Descriptor file • ASCII file in Object Description Language (ODL) format describing metadata and services • ODL is an object-based language with “keyword = value” (keyword/value) statements that allows the class and attributes of an entity to be specified • ODL is used to convey relations between attributes and their characteristics within the descriptor files • Dynamic Link Library (DLL) • Shared object file coded in C++ • Handles the implementation of the specified services on each collection described in the Descriptor file

  7. Descriptor File • All collection-level attributes are known ahead of time so their values can be specified in the descriptor file • The ESDT descriptor has six basic sections: • Collection level metadata information • Granule/Inventory level metadata information • Unparsed/Archive metadata information • Structure information which holds the CSDT (Computer Science Data Type) mapping - (the actual physical file organization and storage implementation) • ESDT service descriptions • ESDT supported event handlers

  8. Product Specific Attributes • Optional Additional Attributes or Characteristics which the data provider makes available to further describe the Collection or Granule, e.g., • NUMBADDATA = INTEGER • NUMSPECIALDATA = INTEGER • NUMPROCESSDATA = INTEGER • NUMMISSINGDATA = INTEGER • note: A listing of the PSAs defined by other Instruments can be found at the following URL: http://ecsinfo.gsfc.nasa.gov/ECS_metadata/PSA/

  9. Group = SERVICES • The ACQUIREobject specifies the characteristics of the Acquire service • Acquire service allows users to retrieve data granules • The INSERT object specifies the characteristics of the Insert service • The Insert service is used to store data granules in the archive • The UPDATEMETADATA object allows changing of already inserted values with new values • The BROWSE object allows access to browse images associated with a particular granule • The GETQUERYABLEPARAMETERS object allows access to a list of collection and inventory attributes defined within the ESDT descriptor file • The INSPECT object allows users to look at values from the Inventory metadata attributes • The INSPECTCL object allows users to look at values from the Collection metadata attributes

  10. Group = SERVICES Cont.. • The DELETE object allows the removal of granules from the archive as well as the metadata • The DELETEFROMARCHIVE object allows the deletion of data granules from the archive but does not delete the associated metadata • Subsetting services are included as applicable for extracting information by: • Altitude (only) • Area (only) by bounding box • Area (only) by WRS Row, Path • Parameter (only) • Time (only) • Rows (Swath products only) • multiple means, area by WRS Row, Path • multiple means, area by Bounding Box • Apply Mask • Extract Narrow
