  1. Documentation Developments Ted Habermann, NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC • Adoption of ISO Metadata Standards - Crossing the Chasm • Facilitating the Transition • Documentation Metric • THREDDS/netCDF • Documentation Consortium

  2. Technology Adoption Moore described the “chasm” in the adoption life cycle. He proposes that many new technologies do not make it across the chasm between visionaries and early adapters. They fall into the chasm. The technology S-curve with the chasm might look like: TIME

  4. Who Are Our Partners? AMS Metadata Policy Working Group Recommendations: The AMS should adopt ISO 19115-2 and SensorML as the metadata standards for the Nationwide Network of Networks. In coordination with other organizations within the broader atmospheric and oceanic sciences community, the AMS should provide opportunities for its members to become better educated on the nomenclature, structure, and implementation of metadata and the standards recommended below. The AMS should establish a permanent committee to serve as a body of experts … to provide advice to organizations working to implement a Nationwide Network of Networks and to coordinate with the Federal Committee for Integrated Observing Systems (CIOS). Federal Coordinator for Meteorology Metadata Joint Action Committee The Joint Action Group recommends that the Federal departments and agencies adopt ISO 19115-2 and SensorML as weather observation metadata standards and participate in the process of implementing those standards across the national weather enterprise. Chapter VI - Other Post Award Requirements and Considerations 4. Dissemination and Sharing of Research Results b. Investigators are expected to share with other researchers, at no more than incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of work under NSF grants. Grantees are expected to encourage and facilitate such sharing. GOES-R: NOAA and NASA

  5. The ISO Standards are broad What Goes Where?

  6. Spiral Development / Training Metadata Content Independent of standard Spiral 1: Initial Content Check Back With Data Collectors/ Providers Check Back With Users Standard Guidance / Implementation Spiral 2-N: Scientific Questions New Requirements New Use Cases

  7. Potential Spirals Discovery Understanding Identification Id Title Abstract Resource Date Topic Category Theme Keyword Metadata Contact Science Contact Extent Geospatial Bounding Box Temporal Start/End Vertical Min/Max Place Keywords Text Searches Purpose Extent Description Lineage Statement Project Keywords Content Information Attribute Type Attribute Names Attribute Definitions Attribute Units Connection OnlineResource: Linkage (URL) Name Description Function Distribution Distributor Contact Online Resource Distribution Format Data Center Keywords Browse Graphic Acquisition Information Instrument Platform Instrument Keywords Platform Keywords Quality/Lineage Sources Process Steps Quality Reports / Coverages

  8. Spirals and Rubrics Metadata Evaluation for Dataset X Date: 2010/10/24

  10. Identifying Bounding Extents

  11. Web Accessible Folders - Record Populations Web Accessible Folder Web Accessible Folder Web Accessible Folder 25 15 26 14 24 14 14 26 18 18 17 17 17 15 16 14 17 24 17 26 22 25 17 17 17 17 17 16 15 16 26 17 27 17 24 22

  12. Record Population Scores ISO Rubric Score FGDC - CoRIS FGDC - NOS UAF

  13. Multiple Dialects ISO DIF, FGDC, Data.Gov Documentation Repository ISO 19115, 19115-2, 19119 and extensions netCDF SensorML THREDDS WCS, WMS, WFS, SOS KML

  14. Multiple Dialects: THREDDS Data Server Metadata NcML ISO Rubric Data OPeNDAP WMS WCS We have developed an extension to THREDDS that supports extraction of metadata as NcML, evaluation of that metadata, and translation to ISO. This will be integrated into the next version of THREDDS THREDDS Catalog THREDDS Catalog file2.nc file3.nc file4.nc file1.nc file2.nc file1.nc

  15. Improvement Plan Improve standard (add new classes and keyword types) Create and encourage adoption of shared vocabularies for discovery Improve translation from NcML to ISO Integrate ncISO into TDS Create good xslstylesheets for documentation display Encourage existing and new data providers to support data discovery conventions Find partners for further improvement in NcML and ISO

  17. Shared Needs NESDIS NASA NSF The groups that created these documents are leading the transition to the ISO Standards and recognizing the need for guidance and tools. Do they each head off in their own direction… Or come together to communicate and collaborate? USGS FAA NWS WMO

  18. The Documentation Consortium Consortium: association of organizations with the objective of pooling resources for achieving a common goal: To foster stewardship & meaningful publicationof Earth & Space data for world-wide cross-disciplinary & citizen use, today and tomorrow. Initially to coordinate and facilitate the transition to effectively use of ISO Documentation Standards. NESDIS NASA NSF Training Standards USGS Tool Adoption & Development FAA NWS WMO

  19. Logic Model Mission: To foster stewardship & meaningful publicationof Earth & Space data for world-wide cross-disciplinary & citizen use, today and tomorrow. A “community of practice” that publishes, cites & stewards interoperable Earth & Space data Influential advocates for better stewarding/ citing/publishing of Earth & Space data Outcomes: Transparent and trustworthy scientific results (on climate change, e.g.) Better reproducibility of results from data-intensive, scientific studies of Earth & Space Accelerated progress in sciences where data-intensity is high and interoperability is needed Training Standards Tool Adoption & Devel Models/protocols/standards that support meaningful exchange, preservation & use of Earth & Space data Tools that facilitate use of models/protocols/standards Data-stewarding exemplars (tool usage, conventions…) Expertise on data models, documentation, protocols, semantics, curation, (on-line) teaching & learning

  20. Leadership Model: Positive Deviance Positive deviance says that if you want to create change, you must scale it down to the lowest level of granularity and look for people within the social system who are already manifesting the desired future state. Take only the arrows that are already pointing toward the way you want to go, and ignore the others. Identify and differentiate those people who are headed in the right direction. Give them visibility and resources. Bring them together. Aggregate them. Barbara Waugh
