Book excerpt: "The Common Framework for Earth Observations Data provides guidance to data producers in Federal agencies for improving and standardizing their data-management practices. This document is primarily concerned with data from the Federal Government’s Earth-observing systems, though its recommendations may be useful for others, such as local, state, international, and commercial data creators whose Earth observations are widely shared. The recommendations in the Common Framework are focused on the discoverability, accessibility, and usability of Earth observations and derived data products Topics addressed include Data-Search and Discovery Services, Data-Access Services, Data Documentation, and a section on Compatible Formats and Vocabularies.The recommendations in this document are not requirements, but can serve as a reference for data managers and users on a suggested subset of the many available standards. The recommendations in this document are intended to be broadly applicable, but not comprehensive. There may be types of observations and special cases for which other practices will be necessary. Where the recommendations fit the circumstances, their application will help ensure that Earth-observation data are more discoverable, accessible, and usable"--Page 1.
