pyQuARC: Open Source Library for Earth Observation Metadata Quality Assessment

Metadata quality is essential to effective data discovery and has become increasingly vital as more Earth Science data sets become available. The Common Metadata Repository (CMR) hosts metadata describing NASA’s Earth Observation data products, which are archived across 12 Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). The Analysis and Review of CMR (ARC) Team, located at Marshall Space Flight Center, conducts metadata quality assessments to ensure that these data products are discoverable, accessible, and usable. To achieve these goals, the ARC team has developed a metadata quality assessment framework to evaluate metadata completeness, correctness, and consistency. ARC uses a combination of manual and automated methods to assess these three components and identify areas of improvement; the team then collaborates with the DAACs to resolve any findings. To streamline this process, ARC is currently developing a host of scripts, known as pyQuARC, to automate metadata quality assessments as much as possible. pyQuARC is an open source library for Earth Observation Metadata Quality Assessment, and the tool utilizes ARC’s metadata quality assessment framework to make basic validation checks, pinpoint inconsistencies between dataset-level (i.e. collection) and file-level (i.e. granule) metadata, and identify opportunities for more descriptive and robust information. Since pyQuARC is also customizable, other users can make modifications as needed, and future metadata standards can also be implemented. Once pyQuARC is fully developed, it will support multiple schema types to serve the broader EOSDIS metadata community. This presentation will provide an overview of pyQuARC and its process of development while showcasing the tool’s valuable features and uses.

Integrating Multi-agency Data Products in a Cloud-based Platform for Streamlined Discovery, Visualization, and Use

Earth science data users almost always have an interest in utilizing geospatial data from multiple agencies. As computing capability and cloud-based infrastructures accelerate the pace at which scientific research can be done, there is a growing need to enable search, discovery, and use of multi-agency geospatial observations relevant for a common use case - without undergoing the search and discovery process in a less efficient, disparate path with each agency. NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) and NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS) both support a wide range of Earth science disciplines’ research, operations, and applications activities. Presently, however, there are few examples of data discovery frameworks supporting an inquiry of both NASA’s and NOAA’s extensive archives of Earth observations that are equally suitable for a particular science scenario, regardless of the agency that “owns” the data. NASA and NOAA are collaborating on a data expedition platform for exploring fire weather using data products from both agencies. Users will be able to search, discover, and visualize NASA and NOAA products in one interface. Each agency will curate metadata for its respective datasets, providing for a rich search experience. The collaboration will pilot a shared search interface into these metadata datastores. Data products will be stored in the cloud in cloud-optimized format(s). These formats will allow for optimized data access and visualization to support the “data expedition”. Avenues for further development and application of this cloud-based, multi-agency data provisioning platform will also be discussed.

NASA’s Data Preservation Strategies for Ensuring Ongoing Use and Access: Leveraging the Capabilities at the NASA DAACs

As NASA prepares for the follow on to EOS through the deployment of many new space and airborne-based assets envisioned under the ESO initiative, the need for ensuring user access to the very large and diverse archive of past missions remains a critical endeavor for current and future research. The ESDIS team has been working for many years on developing strategies and implementations that will make the linkage between the data held in our archives and the emerging missions possible. The focus on how best to preserve these past data has proven to be a collaborative effort, and one that may well benefit from the adoption of innovative technical tools that enable organizational efficiencies. This poster reveals both aspects of NASA’s EOS data repository strategy by discussing the collaborative community efforts of development of ISO 19165-2 – an international standard supported by a team from many countries around the world, the use by EOSDIS DAACs of a Preservation Content Specification, and ongoing work with mission teams to ensure mission data and all associated information are preserved and available for current and future use.

pyQuARC: Preparing for Full Release

Metadata holds the contextual information about data and is the underlying structure for many data search portals. High quality metadata optimizes search results, allowing users to quickly retrieve the data they need. With the abundant volume and diversity of Earth observation datasets, data discovery and metadata quality are critical for end users. The Common Metadata Repository (CMR), for example, currently hosts metadata for over 9,000 Earth observation data products archived across 12 NASA Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). The Analysis and Review of CMR (ARC) Team, located at Marshall Space Flight Center, assesses the completeness, correctness, and consistency of these metadata records to ensure they are accessible, usable, and discoverable. In 2021, ARC began developing pyQuARC, an open source library for Earth Observation Metadata Quality Assessment to automate this effort. The tool uses ARC’s existing metadata quality framework to provide prioritized recommendations for metadata improvement. During initial testing, pyQuARC automatically identified 58% of metadata findings when compared with a sample of manually reviewed records. Using the results from initial testing, this presentation will focus on recent advancements and improvements of the tool as the ARC team prepares for pyQuARC’s full release. It will also demonstrate pyQuARC's enrichment value, not only for the ARC team, but the broader EOSDIS metadata community as well.

Enabling Cloud Services and Enhanced Data Discovery With Earthdata-Varinfo

NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) contains thousands of Earth science datasets from satellites, models, and field campaigns. Each of these collections can contain hundreds of variables that describe each measurement within the dataset, therefore an automated method for generating UMM-Var records is necessary. The Unified Metadata Model for Variables (UMM-Var) provides a framework for variable metadata records in NASA’s Common Metadata Repository (CMR). The Python tool, earthdata-varinfo, was developed to solve this problem of automating the curation of UMM-Var records. Given either a collection DMR file or a netCDF-4 file, earthdata-varinfo can scrape variable metadata and return a CMR compliant UMM-Var record. Earthdata-varinfo can generate thousands of UMM-Var records in a matter of seconds, thus enabling subsetting capabilities and enhancing data discovery.
