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.

Global Change Master Directory Keywords

A hierarchical list of keywords to the variable level (groupings: science, services, projects, instruments, platforms, locations), the GCMD keywords are used in many contexts. The keywords are updated with new submissions through a fairly informal process.

ICES-SeaDataNet Platform Code

kwalz — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:46:00 -0800

The ICES-SeaDataNet platform code contains a 2-character country code (from ICES/ISO country code) followed by a 2-character vessel code. The vessel identifier is only unique in that country. As of late 2007, there are over 6000 codes for platforms around the world.

International Polar Year Data and Information Service (IPYDIS)

graybeal — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 06:26:00 -0700

The International Polar Year Data and Information Service (IPYDIS) is a global partnership of data centers, archives, and networks working to ensure proper stewardship of IPY and related data. The International Polar Year is a massive international scientific programme focused on the Arctic and the Antarctic from March 2007 to March 2009.

MGD77: Marine Geophysical Data Exchange Format

graybeal — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 05:00:00 -0800

MGD77 is an exchange format for marine geophysical data (bathymetry, magnetics, and gravity). It is intended to be used for the transmission of data to and from a data center and may be useful for the exchange of data to and from a data center and may be useful for the exchange of data between marine institutions.

MMI Ontologies Development Work

MMI Platforms Ontology

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

Description

In 2006 MMI worked with volunteers to start developing a sensors and platforms ontology, using many other reference vocabularies but starting with a blank ontology. The first ontology that resulted is a platform ontology. Click on the link to the OWL file in Sourceforge to find the downloadable OWL file with this ontology.

NODC Codes for Biological Observations

kwalz — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:02:00 -0800

This National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) document, dated 93/06/04, contains codes in many different domains associated with biological observations. Codes are 1, 2, or 3 characters.

Domains include:

NODC Platform Code

kwalz — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:31:00 -0800

The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) platform code contains a 2-character country code followed by a 2-character vessel code, similar to ICES-SeaDataNet platform code. As of late 2007, over 6000 codes are listed for platforms around the world. Comment Note that these are codes for individual platforms, not for platform types. See the link below for the latter.

NODC Platform Type Codes (copy)

graybeal — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 08:53:00 -0800

The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) code list contains a list of platform codes. To assure preservation and for local reference, we have copied it here.

NODC World Ocean Database Platform Code

kwalz — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:40:00 -0800

The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) World Ocean Database (WOD) uses unique assigned index numbers from 1-8970 for platform codes. Some values are missing.

OceanSITES

graybeal — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:18:00 -0800

OceanSITES is a project designed to make time series data from long-term ocean reference stations widely available. The sizable international group has been meeting for several years, and has preliminary documents describing data distribution practices and a standard format for netCDF files. Their NetCDF implementation is based on the Climate and Forecast (CF) convention.

POGO Ocean Cruises

graybeal — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 07:21:00 -0800

Project Introduction

This is a website for Research Vessels larger than 60 meters that are engaged in ocean research. It is trying to collect relevant metadata about these vessels, and their operations, in one place. Ship operators and laboratories are invited to contribute. The co-ordinators of this website initiative are actively compiling lists of qualifying vessels and contributions from operators for regular input and maintenance of the databases.

Publication 47: WMO Codes for Instruments and Methods on Ships

luisBer — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 22:32:00 -0800

The code tables in this document contain a reasonably comprehensive list of data collection platforms and sensors. The codes are in Annex 4, Code Tables. Code tables of interest for sensor types are 102, 202, 802, 1501, and 2002. Code tables of interest for platform types are 2201, 2202.

SEACOOS Data Dictionary v2.0

rkl — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:52:00 -0800

The SEACOOS Data Dictionary v2.0 is an extention of the Climate and Forecast (CF) Standard Names Table (v1). This dictionary includes standard names that are coordinate-related, time_date names, atmospheric data, physical oceanographic, chemical oceanographic, electromagnetic radiation, ADCP, sensor-related, platform-related, and navigation not available or modified from CF Standard Names Table (v1) at the time of the project.
