Auxiliary Description of Instruments

This is a project under development in GCMD to allow instrument metadata in GCMD data submissions that use the Directory Interchange Format.

In order to support defining metadata for instruments, GCMD is working on a content standard called AD-I, for Auxiliary Description of Instruments. This standard would serve to extend the DIF metadata currently accepted.

AD-I was introduced in draft form for Track 1 DIF work of the MMI Sensors Metadata Interoperability workshop.

For more information on the AD-I development, contact Melanie Meaux or Lola Olsen at GCMD.
