In reviewing some of the EML content for the KUBI MN, the one field that seemed off was the end date in the TemporalCoverage tree. For some datasets, the end date has been set to the year 2039. Ultimately, the end date should reflect that actual end date of the time range covered by the data. If the TIF image has values for 2010, the end date should also be 2010. If the end date was set to 2039 to indicate that the TIFF image gets updated yearly into the future, a better approach is to call MN.update() on the object and the EML and ORE documents that describe the TIFF image, and indicate that there is a new version in the system metadata document for these objects (using the obsoletes/obsoletedBy fields). In this way, the metadata would reflect the actual coverage for the object.
