This presentation shows 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. It also highlights how keywords facilitate the discovery of EOSDIS data and services and discusses upcoming keyword reviews.
