Introduction to Agenda: Overall Structure of Workshop
Two different tracks will take place during this workshop. All participants will meet for the plenary presentations, including certain breakout reports.
- Track 1: Evaluating Sensor Metadata Standards
This track will focus on selecting and applying standards for sensor-related metadata to specific use cases. Content standards, and to some extent controlled vocabularies, will be applied to real-world problems, and evaluated in that context. Participants will work with content standards and vocabularies with which they are familiar, using them to complete metadata descriptions, and will then evaluate the utility of the results. Participants in this track will need a high degree of sophistication with data systems, and some knowledge of the content standard they select. more... - Track 2: Sensor Metadata Interoperability Training
This track will provide technical and hands-on training on sensor-related metadata practices. This track will include an overview of the metadata activities in an end to end data system, and present state of the practice metadata solutions to common data management scenarios. Track 2 will also give participants a hands-on opportunity to work with sensor metadata in a real-world application. more...
Interactions
The two tracks interact at several points during the workshop. The challenges and insights from Track 1 groups will be presented simultaneously to the other groups and the Track 2 participants, to enable them to appreciate current technologies in this field. At the same time, Track 2 participants will inform the Track 1 discussion, both by submitting questions, and by offering comments toward the evaluations that occur in the plenary discussion. Track 2 participants will also report on the lessons learned from the exercises they perform, which may also inform the plenary discussions.
