Detailed metadata for one NASA GIBS layer

Changed on

Full metadata record for a single GIBS layer. Includes title, MIME format, tile matrix set, WGS84 bounding box, every declared ISO 8601 time interval, the RESTful tile URL template (placeholders intact), metadata links (colormap versions, CMR collection DOIs), and horizontal plus vertical SVG legend URLs. Also reports which other GIBS projections this layer appears in. Data: NASA GIBS / NASA Earthdata (US public domain).
