Session Abstract:
This session will convey the process for GCMD keywords - fast track and yearly reviews through the ESDIS Standards Office, and how Earth science users can influence keyword additions and modifications. The session will also highlight how keywords facilitate the discovery of EOSDIS data and services.
There will also be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions about the keywords and discuss how you would like the keywords and the supported tools to evolve.
Please use the Google document below to post your keyword questions and feedback. We will review them during the meeting.

1) GCMD keywords are used by numerous national and international organizations.
2) There is an interest in normalizing measurement terms in the GCMD KMS for the UMM-Var model.
3) There are some gaps in the keywords, especially within Biology that need to be addressed. The GCMD team will be getting input from SME's in that area.
