AMD Portal Update: Next Steps - Beta site is still running parallel to existing AMD site. - Any outstanding issues with new site that need to be addressed? - If all issues are resolved, we can schedule replacement of existing site with updated site. - Beta site is still running parallel to existing AMD site. - Any outstanding issues with new site that need to be addressed? - If all issues are resolved, we can schedule replacement of existing site with updated site.

Methods for Submitting Metadata to AMD: Old and New

Different Methods for Metadata Submissions - docBUILDER (one DIF at a time) - FTP site (metadata records made available via secure site for GCMD to access)* - Harvest via OAI-PMH (metadata records made available to GCMD to access via harvesting protocol)* - Bulk Uploader (validate and/or submit multiple metadata records in DIF format directly to GCMD)* - ISO records (metadata records in ISO format may be submitted via FTP site or OAI-PMH harvest; GCMD will translate to DIF format)* - docBUILDER (one DIF at a time) - FTP site (metadata records made available via secure site for GCMD to access)* - Harvest via OAI-PMH (metadata records made available to GCMD to access via harvesting protocol)* - Bulk Uploader (validate and/or submit multiple metadata records in DIF format directly to GCMD)* - ISO records (metadata records in ISO format may be submitted via FTP site or OAI-PMH harvest; GCMD will translate to DIF format)* *Contact Alicia Aleman

Submitting DIFs via Harvesting Protocol (OAI-PMH) Send the following information via to: - Repository name - Repository base URL (i.e. - Metadata format being harvested (i.e. oai_dif) -# DIFs - Frequency of harvests Send the following information via to: - Repository name - Repository base URL (i.e. - Metadata format being harvested (i.e. oai_dif) -# DIFs - Frequency of harvests

Submitting DIFs via Bulk Uploader - Upload multiple DIF records to the GCMD metadata queue - Validate records (links and syntax) and send an to the provider with validation results -NASA EOSDIS/URS authentication required for access: - Upload multiple DIF records to the GCMD metadata queue - Validate records (links and syntax) and send an to the provider with validation results -NASA EOSDIS/URS authentication required for access: AMD data providers who want to use the new tool should send an to Online Interface

Software Updates

- MWS new default behavior: A fix to the Metadata Web System RESTFul API was implemented to return XML as the default format instead of plain text for a query’s output. - New Portals: Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS); Swedish Antarctic Research Program - Delete flag added to md_entry and service_entry. This new feature allows DIF and SERF metadata records that have been deleted to be automatically ‘flagged’ and found via the Metadata Web Service (MWS) using the following query syntax: /mws/dif/ ?deleted=true or any query with 'deleted=true'. - MWS new default behavior: A fix to the Metadata Web System RESTFul API was implemented to return XML as the default format instead of plain text for a query’s output. - New Portals: Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS); Swedish Antarctic Research Program - Delete flag added to md_entry and service_entry.
