Remember me??? I'm way, way tardy in getting these comments to you. I won't offer you any excuses, even though I have a few. Volume looks pretty good. Only a few things, as are detailed on the attached list. VG_2803 validation in process, and shouldn't take more than a few days, assuming it is pretty similar to this one. -Steven VG_2802 validation comments from PDS/CN AAREADME.TXT 1. AAREADME.TXT A. Line 94, HTML link is invalid. Change to: http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/documents/sr/index.html or the more general: http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/documents/ B. line 150, HTML link is invalid. Change to: http://pds-naif.jpl.nasa.gov/ C. ASCII tree of dir structure looks very nice. 2. VOLDESC.CAT A. Change: FACILITY_NAME = "SPACE SCIENCE DIVISION" To: FACILITY_NAME = "SPACE SCIENCE LABORATORY" This was noted on the orig validation. SSD is not listed as a standard value while SSL is listed. 3. \TRAJECT\*.* A. Capitalize filenames and filename extensions in this directory. All other directories and sub-directories okay. 4. \CATALOG\DATASET.CAT A. The catalog files on this volume ingested the other week. Just as an advisory . . . CURATING_NODE_ID is now a required keyword for a DATASET.CAT file. In this case, we used CURATING_NODE_ID = RINGS B. DATA_SET_INFORMATION object missing required element, ABSTRACT_DESC. C. Existing standard value for ARCHIVE_STATUS is IN PEER REVIEW, not IN_PEER_REVIEW, (no underscores). 5. \CATALOG\CATINFO.TXT A. line 33 - change "INSTHOST.CAT" to "VG1HOST.CAT" and "VG2HOST.CAT". There is no "INSTHOST.CAT" on the volume or in this directory. 6. \CATALOG\SOFTWARE.CAT A. There is a "problem" with the PROTOCOL_TYPE element in several of the SOFTWARE_ONLINE objects in this file. The PROTOCOL_TYPE element has a STD_VAL_TYPE = STATIC, which means that new standard values must be approved by CN before they can be used. So far, there are only two standard values for this keyword, those being URL and FTP. You want to use three new ones. These are; "COMPRESSED" for OALV13.TAR.Z, "SOURCE" for lablib3.c, and "COMPRESSED TAR" for LABLIB3.TAR.Z. You can make a good case for using two of the three you want to use. But, "COMPRESSED" and "COMPRESSED TAR" is somewhat redundant. Both refer to tar files. Pick one or the other to use, not both. 7. \SOFTWARE\OAL\* A. Change filename \SOFTWARE\OAL\AAREADME.TXT to \SOFTWARE\OAL\xxxxINFO.TXT (where xxxx is the appropriate name, (perhaps OALINFO.TXT?)). B. Change filename \SOFTWARE\OAL\EXAMPLES\README.TXT to \SOFTWARE\OAL\EXAMPLES\xxxxINFO.TXT (where xxxx is the appropriate name, (perhaps EXAMINFO.TXT?)). C. \SOFTWARE\OAL\IDL\README.TXT - as above. D. \SOFTWARE\PROFILE\AAREADME.TXT - as above. 7. There are no xxxxINFO.TXT files in the following non-data directories. \SOFTWARE\OAL\FORTRAN \SOFTWARE\OAL\SOURCE \SOFTWARE\PROFILE\EXAMPLES \SOFTWARE\PROFILE\OALSRC \SOFTWARE\PROFILE\SOURCE \SPICE\IEEE - but covered by \SPICE\DATAINFO.TXT \SPICE\PC - but covered by \SPICE\DATAINFO.TXT \SPICE\TRANSFER - but covered by \SPICE\DATAINFO.TXT \SPICE\VAXG - but covered by \SPICE\DATAINFO.TXT 7. \CATALOG\REF.CAT A. BROADFOOT&SANDEL1977 Can you verify "Ssanacon"? The ref is in the DD with this word spelled this way. Is it correct? 10. There are 72 label files with the string "of of", as in: DESCRIPTION = "Radial distance of the occultation intercept point from the center of of the planet, in kilometers. The second (or first) occurrence of the word "of" needs to be deleted. This was noted in the orig validation as occurring in 122 label files. It appears that it has been fixed in some of them, but not all. 11. \DOCUMENT\EDITDATA\DATA\IOTAHER3.LBL A. line 85, change: END_OBJECT = SERIES to: END_OBJECT = TABLE 12. \GEOMETRY\US1G02.LBL A. line 12, 37, 57, 82 and 167 change: SOURCE_PRODUCT_ID = 'N/A' to: SOURCE_PRODUCT_ID = "N/A" 13. \RAWDATA\UN1R01I.LBL A. COLUMN is a required sub-object for the TABLE object. It is missing from this file. B. Also the following files in the \RAWDATA\ directory have this same "problem" as above (13.A.). 1. UN1R01P.LBL 13. US3R01ID.LBL 2. UN1R01V.LBL 14. US3R01P.LBL 3. US1R01I.LBL 15. US3R01PD.LBL 4. US1R01P.LBL 16. US3R01V.LBL 5. US1R01V.LBL 17. US3R01VD.LBL 6. US2R01I.LBL 18. UU1R01I.LBL 7. US2R01ID.LBL 19. UU1R01P.LBL 8. US2R01P.LBL 20. UU1R01V.LBL 9. US2R01PD.LBL 21. UU2R01I.LBL 10. US2R01V.LBL 22. UU2R01P.LBL 11. US2R01VD.LB 23. UU2R01V.LBL 12. US3R01I.LBl 14. \SORCDATA\ A. Same "problem" (13.A., missing COLUMN sub-object) in the following files in this directory. 1. BETPER.LBL 5. DELSCO.LBL 2. DELSCOI.LBL 6. DELSCOID.LBL 3. IOTAHER.LBL 7. IOTAHERD.LBL 4. SIGSAG_N.LBL 8. SIGSAG_U.LBL 15. \SORCDATA\DELSCO1.LBL A. There are two START_TIME and STOP_TIME keyword/values in this file. Only one allowed. (lines 19 and 23 are the two START_TIME and lines 20 and 24 the two STOP_TIME). 16. \RAWDATA\*.LBL (21 of the 24 label files in this directory have this "problem"/) A. EARTH_RECEIVED_START_TIME = NULL EARTH_RECEIVED_STOP_TIME = NULL NULL is to be used when the value is temporarily unknown. UNK is to be used when the value is not known and never will be known. In these label files, which is the case? If temporarily unknown, does that mean you will submit a new volume when the value is known? 17. \SORCDATA\*.LBL A. Same "problem" as above (16.A.) 18. \INDEX\INDEX.LBL A. Multiple instances of UNIT = 'N\A' While technically correct, this is antiquated usage. The "more proper" usage would be: UNIT = "N/A". (The apostrophe (single quote) has been replaced by quotes (double quotes). 19. Data files and images look fine. Not all files viewed, only a representative sample. TBTOOL and NASAVIEW had no problems.
