 **Intended science use case**
 *Please describe how you intend to use the data, or the expected relevance to MAAP users.*
 
+## Spatio-Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC)
+
+This collection will be published as a Spatio-Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC) Collection. You can read the complete STAC collection spec here: (https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/blob/master/collection-spec/collection-spec.md).
+
+If you need help with any of the fields below, please let us know.
+
+**id:** Identifier for the Collection that is unique across the provider. This is typically an abbreviated and hyphenated or camel-cased version of the dataset name, For example `gedi_l2a_v002` for "GEDI L2A Elevation and Height Metrics Data Global Footprint Level V002".
+
+_We can create an id from the Dataset Name from the first section if not otherwise indicated._
+
+**title:** A short descriptive one-line title for the collection. Technically, this is not requried by the STAC Spec but it is used by the STAC browser.
+
+_We will use the Dataset Name from the first section if not otherwise indicated._
+
+**description:** Detailed multi-line description to fully explain the collection.
+
+_We will reuse the Dataset Description from the first section if not otherwise indicated._
+
+**spatial extent:** A bounding box for the potential spatial extents covered by the collection. Read more in the [spatial-extent-object section of the spec](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/blob/master/collection-spec/collection-spec.md#spatial-extent-object).
+
+_Please provide the spatial extent as a bounding box._
+
+**temporal extent:** Describes the temporal extents of the collection as an interval. Read more in the [temporal-extent-object section of the spec](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec/blob/master/collection-spec/collection-spec.md#temporal-extent-object).
+
+_Please provide the temporal extent as an interval. If the dataset has a single date time or is currently ongoing, a single date is appropriate._
+
+**links:** A list of references to other documents. There must be a at least one link and we highly recommend and may require in the future link to documentation which includes details about how to access and open the data.
+
+**Again, this is the minimum set of information to publish to STAC. If there is other information to include about the dataset which might be relevant to other users in finding or using the dataset, please let us know and we can help determine how to include that information in the STAC collection.**
