Thanks Jeff Shepherd (@mo-jeff)! Some thoughts:

• It is not strictly necessary to add a long description.md, but remember that the contents of description.md are rendered to HTML in the Planetary Computer explorer. Here you have a chance to fully describe your dataset to your users in rich detail, including links (see the red box):

• Which values? I'll eventually end up documenting them, just curious...
• A collection's temporal extent can be null on one side, which indicates an open internal. You can reference other continuously updated collections like MODIS, Sentinel2, HLS2, or GOES for an example.
• item_assets at the collection level is an indication to the users of this collection what the expected asset keys are of all STAC items assets in this collection. It should be a relatively small set of asset keys.
• You might want to consider adding the datacube STAC extension too, and documenting the dimensions of all the assets in this collection.

Let us handle the dataset.yml file, that's a workflow specification that you don't have to write.

Gustavo Hidalgo (@ghidalgo3) - updated this PR. To your comments:

• I need to add richer descriptions once we've agreed them internally.
• Asset keys have been updated, with detail similar to ECMWF datasets. More data documentation will be linked to in the description to ensure consistency across platforms.
• Open to using the datacube extension, focused on main content of the collection at the moment.

Pete Gadomski (@gadomski) - most of the technical detail is here now I think. Descriptions to follow soon.

Gave it a quick once-over, no major issues. We'll want to populate the item_assets with more information once that's prepared ... I'm working on that now.

Changes have been applied.
