Publish -- USGS ScienceBase
Requirements
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.
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 Settings, 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 add a Parent ID to your metadata record (see Metadata/Parent Metadata.)
Please use a testing folder before you update your real records. (Consult the Testing Publishing section of this manual for more information.)
