In this session, application developers and data catalog providers will work together towards developing interoperability for data at the parameter/measurement/variable level. We will look at existing frameworks in an attempt to reuse or rework existing schemes in order to support multiple applications Some of the schemes in the community to be considered are: CSDMS Standard Names CF Standard Names RDA Datatypes Registry EOSDIS Unified Metadata Model for Parameters (UMM-P) OGC Web Coverage Service AESIR ODISEES The key questions to be addressed are: Is it possible to support Measurement-Variable-Parameter information for all the key applications in a single framework? Alternatively, should we try to link or map amongst several frameworks? In either case, what process should be used to maintain the framework contents or mappings between them?
