PDS4 documentation is in XML format. There is an lblx label for every product
in the archive.

This is a PDS4 archive of the following PDS3 data set: 

- VG2-S-MAG-4-RDR-HGCOORDS-1.92SEC-V1.1 [DOI:10.17189/1519997](https://doi.org/10.17189/1519997)

- VG2-S-MAG-4-RDR-L1COORDS-1.92SEC-V1.1 [DOI:10.17189/1519999](https://doi.org/10.17189/1519999)
- VG2-S-MAG-4-RDR-L1COORDS-9.6SEC-V1.1 [DOI:10.17189/1520000](https://doi.org/10.17189/1520000)
- VG2-S-MAG-4-SUMM-HGCOORDS-48SEC-V1.1 [DOI:10.17189/1520001](https://doi.org/10.17189/1520001)

The collections were originally archived under PDS3 in the following volumes:
- VG_1601

Under the PDS3 standard all archives were self contained and could in
principle be stored in a single file system (disk, CD-ROM, etc.). PDS4
takes advantage of the network capabilities that allow archives to be
distributed.  As a result, some of the documents and metadata previously
stored in the PDS3 catalog files are no longer maintained locally, but are
maintained in a central repository.  Those files are referenced by unique
PDS logical identifiers that are included in the document collection
inventory.

## Errata 
  
An errata file has been included in the document collection. Known and
additional issues are and will be noted in this file.
