Please add "Multiple" as a data format in the GCMD Data Format keyword hierarchy (details and use cases below). This request is from the ORNL DAAC and the Metadata Stewardship team to resolve https://bugs.earthdata.nasa.gov/browse/ECSE-1845.
Alternate Label(s): none
Definition: The collection or granule contains files of more than one type.
Reference: None
Use case: The Data Format hierarchy does include "Not Provided". However, there are cases where collections and granules contain multiple files covering different formats. It is not always practical to break this out into a list of separate formats, and it is useful to be able to display "Multiple" for the file formats on a dataset landing page. This data format is the best solution identified for the ORNL DAAC to curate total dataset size in CMR in support of Web Unification.
