Requirements for Publishing

Publishing requires the record to be a valid record, meaning that mdEditor checks that all required fields for a mdJSON file are present before allowing a record to be published.

Note: mdEditor does not check for SA specific requirements as documented here. It only checks that the metadata meets ISO requirements. Fulfilling SA requirements falls on the creator of the records. Consult the and sections for SA requirements.

Publishing requires every record to have a parent Identifier that identifies the ScienceBase folder where your record will be sent upon publishing. If you set up your Default Parent Identifier in , then you do not need to add a parent ID to your individual record. However, if you need to publish your record to a location different than your default folder, then you need to edit the Parent ID in your metadata record to the different location (see ).

Note: Please use a testing folder before you update your real records. (Consult the section of this manual for more information).
