General notes regarding label
=============================
* Strings appear in quotes.
* Integers and PDS Times do not take quotes.
* Lists are enclosed within {} type brackets.
* If a field is unknown, "UNK" may be entered.
* If this field is not applicable to this file, "N/A" can be used.

following lines.
Definition of Keywords/Values for SPICE Kernels:
================================================
PDS_VERSION_ID The version of the present PDS standards
document PDS3
RECORD_TYPE Record format of the file, For files with
fixed-length records, FIXED_LENGTH, for text
files, STREAM
RECORD_BYTES Record length in the case of fixed-length
records, an integer (no quotation marks)
If records have variable length, "N/A"
^SPICE_KERNEL Actual file name to which this label
applies, "MGS_SC_SPO1.BC"
MISSION_NAME "MARS GLOBAL SURVEYOR" for MGS project
SPACECRAFT_NAME "MARS GLOBAL SURVEYOR" for MGS spacecraft
DATA_SET_ID Has form: "MGS-M-SPICE-6-CK-V1.0" where
'MGS' is for data for MGS spacecraft;
'M' is for Mars, the mission target;
'SPICE' is SPICE data identifier; '6' is the
CODMAC processing level; V1.0 is the data
set version number.
KERNEL_TYPE_ID Type of SPICE kernel, one of CK, EK,
FK, IK, LSK, PCK, SCLK, or SPK
PRODUCT_ID Actual file name. Example:
"MGS_SC_SPO1.BC"
PRODUCT_CREATION_TIME Time file was created. This follows
PDS time structure: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
No quotes are needed.
