Task Team WIGOS Metadata (TT-WIGOSMD-26)

25 Aug 2022, 12:00-13:30 UTC; online

Agenda & Notes

• Welcome, adoption of minutes (5', jkl)
  • Discussion about how to follow up with CEOS presentation from last week. (Joerg) definitely sees value in collaborating on the project (Lara) Their work is very early and it's difficult to collaborate at this point. It could be helpful to map to something they have when it's more mature and then determine how to follow up. (Joerg) wouldn't it make sense to have this team work on development at the same time? (Lara) yes, but it's not clear what their outcome/purpose is. (Joerg) they are stakeholders of WIGOS and WMO and they should be included in this team (Gao) our involvement can help reduce the number of standards in use vs the risk of yet another standard being created. (Joerg) at a minimum, we'll stay in contact.
  • Welcome to Yuanhe!
• Secretariat updates (5', AM)
  • reminder: next amendments for FT2023-1 need to be complete by mid-December
  • schedule bi-monthly meetings (one for fast-track amendments and another for WIGOS standard, KPIs and other business)
  • Team will meet on the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month on Thursdays 12-13:30UTC. (Joerg) there are a lot of Thursdays that I won't be available, a deputy would be helpful? will determine at the previous meetings if needed.
• Requirements for versioning in the codes registry (https://github.com/wmo-im/wmds/issues/383)
  • all are invited to comment and provide examples of vocabulary servers that have versioning.
• FT2022-2 feedback issue #420 (10', AM)
  • (Joerg) options for merging all 1-01-* tables. Should we have a new GitHub repo? or a new folder? i-adopt is very useful for the observable properties (Gao) we definitely need a sandbox. We may need to determine what is allowed or not allowed and this may vary depending on the domain. (Joerg) also there is the fundamental concern in Steve's email about the definitions for Terrestrial and Hydrology. (Anna) create a branch and a new CSV with all 1-01* tables merged into one, with two columns. (Joerg) there will be a need to maintain the old codes from "some time" and therefore should have an index too. Current version and new version will need to co-exist.
  • ACTION: Anna will create a fork, branch, repo to start this effort.
• KPIs (30', Juan)
• reminder: Contribution of TT-WIGOS to upcoming meetings and conferences
  • TECO 2022 accepted as #140
  • AGU Fall meeting submitted
• AOB
