Agenda

Minutes

  • brief overview of community and git resources
    • Issue branches will be deleted after merging to master
  • (JKL) review of WMDS and WMDR
    • Please familiarize yourself with the WIGOS Metadata Standard. It has 10 categories of metadata, but it doesn't go into every little detail nor how it's implemented. This team is responsible for evolving this standard and its technical representation. Chapter 3 is very important, because it addresses space and time and there is room to improve. This standard is semantic. The formal expression is the UML diagram and the XML Schema. Brief overview of UML.
    • (LF) What is the first box when creating a record? (JKL) There is no right or wrong. The schema is designed for a lot of flexibility. Once you have a facility registered, you can link to it from the observations. (LF) I like being able to reuse the facility and referencing it from the observations. (GC) is this only for surface measurements? (JFK) the goal is to describe surfaceand satellite - a whole variety. But it was originally designed for land based, but we need to evolve this to describe other datatypes better.
  • (JKL) No one signed up for the merging of the WIGOS standard and representation - so we will have to look at later.
  • (JKL) Existing GitHub Issues:
    • Ideally all of these issues need to have an owner, so add your name to ones that you can curate. Please assign yourself to issues that you feel you have the competence. Work on the issues between telecons and report on their status during the telecon. We need you to support this process. You can watch the repository and get emails when things change.
    • assign yourself to at least 3 issues by end of the week. (LF) it's been difficult to figure out the purpose of these issues (GC) you want us to recommend the action? (JKL) yes, please assign yourself and provide recommendations that we can discuss at the next meeting
    • Described how to manage an issue, add labels, add to the project...
  • (JKL) ad-hoc group on atmospheric chemical composition vocabulary
    • Atmospheric chemical composition vocabularies are complex and (STF) has done some work on this.
    • CG would like to join this group.
    • (STF) present research on vocabulary (see presentation).
    • (Rodica) - GCW did this recently, intend to add them to the ACDD... (JKL) let's talk about this offline with Anna
    • Other interested parties: Richard (?) from NASA, Rainer will contact Hohenpeissenberg
    • (LF) ENVRIFair community wants to have an internal conversation first. Not sure of the time scale. (JKL) Can we join earlier in the conversation? (LF) I'll bring this up the next time ENVRIFair meets. (JKL) Anna ask Enrico to get a name from CF. WMO is well positioned to facilitate. The purpose is to NOT create yet another standard. The goal is to find common ground where possible.
    • (GC) are the issues raised in the presentation in GitHub issues? (JKL) we need to figure out the best way to organize this.
