We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Bridging Divides: Data, Technology, Community" this year. Learn more about this theme on the ESIP Meetings page.
Session and plenary recordings will be published on the ESIP YouTube Channel.
This session puts forward the case that high quality metadata leads to better tools and services, and that standardized data leads to less costly tools and services. The session tests two hypotheses: (1) improving metadata quality will improve the quality of tools and services; and (2) improving standardization of incoming data will reduce the cost of ingest, archive, and distribution. Improvements being tested include bringing UMM-C inventory in line with schema validation rules, turning on CMR schema validation, establishing CMR as single point of truth for ESDIS metadata, and iterative AI/ML-powered improvement of collection metadata. The session measures reduction of issues reported against Earthdata Search.
