gogcmd

Golang API to fetch GCMD Keywords and format them in a particular way. Applicable for a specific use case only.

GCMD Keywords: https://earthdata.nasa.gov/earth-observation-data/find-data/idn/gcmd-keywords

How to use

If you have Go installed on your system

You can run the script as is. This also gives you the flexibility to generate only some categories by editing the 'concepts' variable.

git clone [email protected]:HarrySng/gogcmd.git
cd gogcmd
mkdir files terms
go run gcmd.go
cd terms
ls -l

If you do not have Go installed on your system

Execute the binary based on your OS and system architecture. Windows 64 bit: gogcmd_windows_amd64.exe Linux 64 bit: gogcmd_linux_amd64

git clone [email protected]:HarrySng/gogcmd.git
cd gogcmd
mkdir files terms
gogcmd_linux_amd64 # Change binary based on your system
cd terms
ls -l

How It Works

• Keywords are first downloaded in csv format from the static page here: https://gcmd.earthdata.nasa.gov/static/kms/
• Each category is stores as a separate file in ./files/ by its name.
• Each record in the csv file is then converted into this specific format:

Raw record: 
"EARTH SCIENCE SERVICES","DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION","CALIBRATION/VALIDATION","CALIBRATION","","","","ecf29317-bd5e-447b-b911-f8bfb153c83b"

Formatted record: 
ecf29317-bd5e-447b-b911-f8bfb153c83b
EARTH SCIENCE SERVICES > DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION > CALIBRATION/VALIDATION > CALIBRATION

• The formatted records are written to txt files in ./terms/ by category names.
