NMMR Instructions for NCDC Metadata These instructions are designed to be used with Guidelines for NCDC Metadata, which describes one method of creating standard metadata suitable for import into the NOAA Metadata Manager Repository (NMMR). NMMR is constantly evolving, so any or all of these steps may become obsolete on short notice. Steps: (0) Preparation. (a) Do a final metadata check: The writer may want to do one last content check on the metadata file that is to be imported. It is easier for metadata writers unfamiliar with NMMR to find and correct problems in the metadata before import. (b) Delete unused tag pairs: The current version of NMMR will not import a significant number of unused tag pairs. The writer must delete unused tag pairs. A detailed explanation with examples is in Appendix A. (c) Note the metadata file name and directory path: The information will be needed for import in step (4). It is recommended that the writer keep an up-to-date local copy of this file. Go to step (1). (1) Log in to NMMR. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer (not Netscape), go to /metadata/login.do and log in. (In later steps, if the user does not make a significant keystroke or mouse click for about 30 minutes, the session will time out. The user must log in again.) In response to a successful login, the home page appears. Go to step (2). (2) Home page. If the standard template was used to create the metadata, click on the ncdc radio button. If the remote sensing template was used, click on the ncdc remote sensing button instead. A green dot appears inside the radio button. Click on the Create menu option at upper left. Go to step (3). (3) Create. To import a record, click on Import from XML File and go to step (4). To create a record from scratch, go to step (8). (4) CLICK BROWSE TO SELECT A FILE FOR IMPORTING page. A note on this page says that import will not work if characters , , , , appear in the metadata file in incorrect format.
