GCMD Keyword Viewer

Application for visualizing NASA's Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keyword lists, in particular the science keywords.

About the GCMD Keyword Viewer

The Arctic Landscape Conservation Cooperative developed this application to assist in the use of GCMD keywords. GCMD keywords are very useful for metadata and facilitating data discovery. However, finding and choosing specific keywords can be difficult due to the size of the list. This viewer is intended to provide an easy way to explore and use the GCMD keyword list.

About NASA’s GCMD Keywords

This keyword list is based on the GCMD/IDN Science Keywords Version 8.1 Released 2015-03-26. The the keyword lists are maintained by the GCMD science team.
