VOLDESC.CAT
This file contains an ODL description of the contents of the volume. It is
used to load the volume information into the central PDS database.
The file contains a VOLUME object; the
structure of the sub-OBJECTs included in the VOLUME defines the logical
hierarchy of the data (and also the physical organization, for random-access
media).
In addition, the included CATALOG object provides a list of the
various catalog files provided in the volume.
Appendix A of
the PDS Standards Reference gives detailed examples of
VOLUME objects for both serial and direct-access media.
