Site Metadata Information (03-Apr-2006)

As part of its data archiving function, the CDDIS extracts metadata from all incoming GNSS, laser ranging, VLBI and DORIS data. Examples of metadata extracted from incoming data include spatial and temporal information, instrument type (GNSS, SLR, VLBI, DORIS), target (e.g., SLR and DORIS satellite), monument location (geographic, coordinates), station IDs (DOMES, station numbers, service-specific codes), occupation type (fixed vs. mobile). Automated queries to these CDDIS metadata have been created to bring this information together. The reports can be accessed through the INDIGO Web site.
