"Metadata for Ocean Scientists" Tutorial at Ocean Sciences 2008

swatson — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 10:54:00 -0800

Event Description

MMI proposes to hold free metadata tutorials that are divided into 30-minute modules at the Ocean Sciences 2008 meeting. The modules will be: Introduction to Metadata; Introduction to Controlled Vocabularies, Taxonomies and Ontologies; Submitting Metadata to a Clearinghouse; and Metadata Best Practices. Two modules will be held during each lunch break on Tuesday and Wednesday. All four modules will be provided on Thursday evening.

ACT Sensors List

graybeal — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 08:55:00 -0700

ACT has a searchable database of sensors used in coastal and ocean research and observing. The database is a living database; it is continually updated as new test results are available and as more information is provided on each sensor/instrument.

Argo Instrument List

kwalz — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 17:54:00 -0800

(See Table 8, Page 50 on PDF document download below.)

Argo instrument list contains 3-character number codes from 831-858 (14 instruments). From document: "The objective of Argo program is to operate and manage a set of 3000 floats distributed in all oceans, with the vision that the network will be a permanent and operational system."

Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG): Vocabularies and Ontologies

kwalz — Thu, 28 May 2009 20:15:03 -0700

Description

Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) is an international not-for-profit group that develops standards and protocols for sharing biodiversity data. They have a detailed collection of vocabularies and ontologies for studies of biological organisms.

Biodiversity Knowledge Organization Systems

ramorrismorris — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 08:21:00 -0800

The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) has commissioned a white paper to advise it on its future directions for Knowledge Organization Systems (KOS), a rubric that includes the creation, use, and management of such resources as controlled vocabularies, thesauri, gazetteers, and ontologies. Before a final draft is produced, GBIF invites an initial public review of the first draft. The draft may be found at http://bit.ly/GBIFKOS_2010-11-25-0400 and the mechanism for commenting at http://bit.ly/GBIFKOS_Comments which is a page on the GBIF Community Site.

CDI Sea Search Sensor and Platform Vocabularies

graybeal — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 20:30:00 -0800

Sea Search was a European data management initiative (ended in 2005). It was funded to develop and operate a pan-european infrastructure for ocean and marine data management, with many corresponding goals listed on the site.

CIMA Ontology

graybeal — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 22:17:00 -0800

CIMA is aimed at "Grid enabling" instruments as real-time data sources to improve accessibility of instruments and to facilitate their integration into the Grid. They are developing semantic metadata (in OWL/RDF) using a web-based tool, so that the semantic metadata can be used to drive the WSDL/SOAP middleware.

CMECS Habitat Classification System

kwalz — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 17:55:00 -0800

The CMECS habitat classification system (from NatureServe and NOAA) describes North American estuaries, coasts, and oceans. The system is divided into a branched hierarchy, parent levels are Regime, Formation, Zone, Macrohabitat, Habitat, and Biozone. Each level has description and scale associated with its classification.

CMSP Draft Process

CMSP Discovery Vocabularies

GOAL: Develop the outline and initial elements of a process for identifying, evaluating, and adopting mature and valid vocabularies for use in the area of CMSP and related scientific and non-scientific domains.

EPIC (NOAA, PMEL) Units

graybeal — Thu, 18 May 2006 10:01:00 -0700

The EPIC program developed a key file describing all its variables using a numeric code. This code is then encoded into the netCDF file, and includes various attributes for each parameter, including that parameter's units. Thus, the second column of the EPIC key file contains all the units used in the program.

More a working example than an authoritative list of units, but useful to give an idea of the needs of operational programs.

GCMD Platform Keywords

kwalz — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:48:00 -0800

The Global Change Master Directory (GMCD) maintains a list of platform keywords (short names and long names). The majority of this list contains satellites and space stations. All ships are covered under the single keyword SHIPS.

GCMD Science Keywords

kwalz — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 10:27:00 -0800

The GCMD list of Science Keywords contains 1417 terms ordered in a 5-tier hierarchy. The list does not have codes for terms.
