The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in the availability of space physics data. There are literally hundreds of web sites providing access to data from space physics missions as well as ground based observatories. Space physics clearly has entered an era of open data. Now members of the space physics community are working to coordinate access to these diverse resources and to make sure the data are available beyond the termination of missions or projects. The Space Physics Access Search and Extract (SPASE) program will provide a common data dictionary which will help interconnect the sources while the virtual observatory and resident archive programs will provide continuity. However, all of these efforts will only succeed if the science data are of high quality and useable. The key to understanding data quality and proper use of science data is the metadata. All space science analysis requires that users have adequate information about the data. In this talk we will discuss methods for assuring high quality data and will introduce the concept of the self-organized archive (also see King et al, this meeting) as a means of utilizing high quality metadata.
