1. Become familiar with the rules for each collection type you intend to use:
   • Can collections of this type contain collections? 
   • Can collections of this type contain data files?
   • What are the required attributes for each collection type?
   • What are the required attributes for a data file in a collection of each type?
   • What are the acceptable values and default values for each attribute?

   Consider gathering this information by creating your initial collections and data files individually, as described in the following pages:

   • Creating an Empty Collection via the GUI
   • Registering from Your File System via the GUI
2. Download the example metadata file from the following GitHub location:

3. Revise the file to reflect the objects or collections you intend to specify for registration via Globus:
   • The first column should reflect the location of each object or collection within your Globus endpoint. 
   • The second column should reflect the collection type. The default collection type is Folder. 
   • The remaining columns should reflect the user-defined attributes for each object or collection. 
   • Each row should reflect one of your objects or collections. 
   • Each object can be any file type. 
   • The system requires a row for each object or collection with mandatory metadata. 
   • If the default values are acceptable for all mandatory metadata of an object or collection, you can omit that row. 
4. Remove all formatting (such as word wrapping).
