Welcome to the Winter Meeting for the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)! The 2017 theme is Strengthening Ties Between Observations and User Communities. The theme is based on one of the goals in the 2015 - 2020 ESIP Strategic Plan, which provides a framework for ESIP’s activities over the next three years.
This session focuses on CMR (Common Metadata Repository) metadata curation activities. Complete, correct and consistent metadata is essential for strengthening ties between data observations and user communities. High quality metadata strengthens these ties by improving discoverability, accessibility and usability. We will also have an interactive portion during this session to discuss what the group considers important for crafting high quality metadata.
