| Recommendations |
- The data center identifiers (short names) are semicontrolled; i.e.
new data center identifiers may only be added if the data center does
not already appear in the Data Center Keyword List.
- The identifier is usually a mnemonic or abbreviated version of the
long name. When submitting a new identifier, always check the Data
Center Keyword List to ensure mutual exclusivity among data center
short names. No two data centers may have the same short name.
- Data centers which are part of a larger organization may have a
compound short name made up of the organization short name and the
data center short name; for example: INPE/DAE/FISAT. This is helpful
for users conducting broad searches because the users may query on
the substring INPE and receive all Data Center Ancillary Descriptions from
INPE, regardless of division.
