Abstract:

Documentation provides the context that adds understanding and
knowledge to data. The ISO Standards for documenting data
(19115,19115-2), and services (19119) extend the range of standard
documentation considerably beyond previously available approaches.
They include increased utilization of technologies like UML, XML and
linking and content areas like data quality and processing history.
These extensions can build an emerging foundation of data
interoperability into an infrastructure for interoperable
understanding. This process will involve active collaboration between
many environmental data providers and archives all over the world that
are currently in the process of adopting and understanding how to
effectively use the ISO Standards.

This seminar will describe ISO capabilities in the context of
parallels between metadata tools and data interoperability approaches
developed and used by UCAR and others. I will demonstrate how
directories shared over the web, transport standards, and community
conventions build the foundation for documentation access and data
understanding. I will also demonstrate crosswalks and connections
between ISO, THREDDS, and NetCDF documentation and some ideas and
approaches to improving documentation across the entire spectrum of
environmental data and products.
