Meeting 15 04 2020 (teleconference)

AGENDA:

TT-WMD: Jörg Klausen (JK), Karl Monnik (KM), Tim Oakley (TO), Tony Boston (TB), Denis Stuber (DS), Guillaume Aubert (GA), Tom Kralidis (TK) Øystein Godøy (OG);
Secretariat: Enrico Fucile (EF), Igor Zahumensky (IZ), Xiaoxia Chen;

WMDR codelists process (https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/projects/5) was explained in details (EF); it was agreed that the explanation for each label should be improved - action for EF;
The GitHub workflow diagram developed by JK was discussed and compared with the WMDR codelists process; it should be further improved - action for JK.
Important features for the both: Clear deadlines and owners are critical for making the progress with issues.

GA presented a solution following the WIS implementation based on ISO. This is proposed solution 3.1 in the PDF (also labelled solution 1).
It has been now updated in the github issue tracker (https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/issues/144#issuecomment-613909315)
The advantage of that solution is that it is a common way for both WIS and WIGOS to describe data policies (one way for the Member states to encode it for both standard). It is limited by ISO standard and is a bit verbose but it allows to describe both WMOEssential, WMOAdditional and any other kind of data policies/licenses in WMOOther.
OG proposed another solution based on https://github.com/ESIPFed/science-on-schema.org/issues/47 that could be simpler and needs to be studied.
The team agreed that it is important to have a common solution for WIS and WIGOS. The members need to understand fully how the WIS based solution would be and need more examples - action for GA.
The solution proposed by OG should be studied to understand if it can be adapted and incorporated to the WIS and WIGOS standards - action for TK and GA.
Discussion will continue at the next teleconf to find a way forward based on the additional elements provided.
