Reviewer feed back #23

These need to be included in the final checks to make sure the USGS data releases are complete:

  1. The reviewers should catch most things, but these are some of the things that I am spot checking:
  2. The metadata date in gmd:dateStamp. This should be pretty recent to when the data release is checked, not 2 years ago.
  3. An FSP distribution liability statement in gmd:MD_LegalConstraints.
  4. Present and valid USGS Thesaurus terms in gmd:descriptiveKeywords.
  5. If the data are released by ScienceBase, then the distributor should be ScienceBase in gmd:distributionInfo
  6. I'm also checking to see if the element gmd:metadataMaintenance is present. Folks usually put in there what was used to create the metadata. And then we can further use that element when edits are made to the metadata to act as sort of a revision history.

for #5 if you change the yaml file to include this:

publisher:
    email: sciencebase@usgs.gov
    name: U.S.Geological Survey - ScienceBase
    url: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/[number_for_your_project_data]
    phone: 1-888-275-8747

it will show up as the distributor in the .xml file
