Action MDI-1-xxiii (WIS-194: https://vets.development.ucar.edu/jira/browse/WIS-194) [JPA][TH]
Concerning development of static metadata components
○ TH discussed mechanism used in NGDC: using xlink to refer to metadata component 'tagged' with UUID; access is via a restful interface; codebase is Java with Oracle XMLdb; the tool handles 'any' blob of XML and autogenerates the UUID for the component
○ Tool is able to 'merge' non-default values into the 'template' xml-component

We agreed that the NGDC instance of this tool would be used to host the WMO metadata fragments for the interim period - we would look to create an alternate instance at a later stage (or formalize NGDC's commitment to host on behalf of WMO)

JPA will modify his Metadata-Generator tool to exploit the NGDC metadata component server.

Description of tools developed at NGDC can be found here: https://www.nosc.noaa.gov/dmc/swg/wiki/index.php?title=ISO_Components
Also note the (very useful) 'landing page' for the Metadata Tools category of the NGDC wiki: https://www.nosc.noaa.gov/dmc/swg/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Metadata_Tools

JT noted that he was vaguely aware of a W3C initiative to specify xlinks - this is rumoured to be different to OGC's usage ... a quick Google finds this page [http://www.w3.org/XML/2008/05/xlinklc/] which I have not assessed yet, but see Simon Cox (OGC-superhero!) has been involved & commented

JPA has some suggestions already for 'candidate' components that can normalized from the metadata records ...
○ CI_ResponsibleParty ...
§ JPA's excel list of NMHS's [http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/documents/IR3.JPA.v0.1.xls]* has been sent to TH
§ TH has converted this into a first pass XML doc that can be used for components ... looks quite sparse to me on a first glance though!


ACTION 1: TH agreed to list the entities within ISO records that he sees routinely factored out within metadata at NGDC

Comment by Ted Habermann [ 25/Sep/10 3:58 AM ]
JT - I believe that the translation captured all of the content that was in JPA spreadsheet. I will try to batchload the contents this week so you guys can take a look...

P.S. One of the nice features is that you can open and edit components using the "Open URL" option in Oxygen. I believe that this also works in XMLSpy, but I may need to test that w/ JPA...

Michael, Eiji and the whole metadata team

Most of the team were asked to contribute to developing example metadata records ... we can use Matteo's requirement to drive this action.

From Matteo:

 In order for us to have reproducible tests we would need some sample of data and metadata, ideally sample that are not by default in the catalogue of the GISCs (i.e metadata from non essential data or products)

test case 1: We need there valid and an invalid metadata records.
We also need couples of metadata record with the same unique identifier
test case 2 : idem as 1: sample of metadata record
test case 3: sample of data with associated metadata
test case 4: sample of metadata with associated data from different WMO program.

Comment by Jeremy Tandy [ 27/Aug/10 7:16 AM ]
I'm about to incorporate the new constraints for the WMO core profile of ISO19115 (type-1 profile; restriction only) that we discussed at our meeting [http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/report/Report_IPETMDI_I_20100503.htm]. I am wondering what the current recommended best practice is for creating these constraints in the UML model is.

I've asked Rob Atkinson (CSIRO ... & general expert in this stuff) to confirm that this page [https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/twiki/bin/view/AppSchemas/MetadataProfiles] from the SEEGrid twiki is still valid.

Please add any up to date guidance here if you are aware.

Comment by Ted Habermann [ 13/Jul/10 1:41 PM ]
The transition from ISO 19115 with MD_Metadata as the root element to ISO 19115-2 with MI_Metadata as the root involves two steps:
1. Add the gmi namespace definition (xmlns:gmi="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi") to the root element and
2. Change the root element from gmd:MD_Metadata to gmi:MI_Metadata.

The root element then looks like:
<gmi:MI_Metadata
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd
     http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/metadata/published/xsd/schema.xsd"
   xmlns:gmi="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi"
   xmlns:gmd="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd"
   xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco"
   xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

   xmlns:gss="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gss"
   xmlns:gts="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts"
>

The schema location in this example (http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/metadata/published/xsd/schema.xsd) works for either MD_Metadata or MI_Metadata, but is not a permanent location. The final location will be something like http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmi, but it is not currently available.
Comment by Jeremy Tandy [ 24/Sep/10 3:00 AM ]
Further discussion between Ted Habermann and Jeremy Tandy @ OGC TC meeting in Toulouse, Spet 2010:
---
TH indicated that due to ISO 'red-tape' the schemas and resources for ISO19115-2 are not yet hosted on the ISO TC/211 pages … but the next best thing can be found on the Eden wiki (hosted by IGN; the French national mapping agency: http://eden.ign.fr/xsd/isotc211/isofull/20090316/resources/view. These schemas could be view as 'almost' official - TH's view was that they are safe to reference. TH expects the ISO19115-2 (2009) schemas to be publically hosted on the ISO TC/211 website soon.

---
Comment by Jeremy Tandy [ 24/Sep/10 3:02 AM ]
The semi-official schemas hosted by IGN are adequately stable for the interim.

Having had some discussions with 'industry experts' in this space, I discovered that this subject is still in a rapid state of flux.

I'm currently working my way through the W3C standards relating to RDF (RDF-A, RDF-S), SKOS, OWL etc.

My gut feeling - it appears that ONTOLOGIES need only be used where you want to INFER meaning from a hierarchy of related vocabularies. I don't think we need to go this far ... 'Taxonomy' is still relevant even where you have complex M-to-N mappings of controlled vocabs.

Here's some notes from some of my discussions:
---
Ontology vs. taxonomy
      Ontology = OWL, SPARQL
            A-box inference data, T-box class data
            Notion of inheritance, i.e. you can infer the answer to which city am I in? based on a hierarchy of reference data
      RDF gives you a graph but no inference
      Taxonomy = structured lists of information
---

Clearly I need to do some more research here ... but for now I'll be focusing on TAXONOMIES rather than ONTOLOGIES!

Discussion between Ted Habermann and Jeremy Tandy @ OGC TC meeting in Toulouse (Sept 2010):
---
JT indicated that SKOS [http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/] appears to be the preferred model / format for publishing web-accessible vocabularies. This offers a richer set of semantics than the 'blunt' ISO Code-List catalogue.

TH provided examples where NGDC are using controlled vocabularies: GCMD [http://gcmd.nasa.gov/], CF-Standard Names [http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-standard-names/] and UDUnits [http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/]. UDUnits and CF Standard Names appear to have created a custom xml structure ...

The key requirement is that the (XML) structure employed must have ANCHORS allowing the xlink from the metadata instance to link directly to the appropriate part of the vocabulary ... e.g. myVocabFile.xml#myElement. The xml file in this example could easily be an ISO Code-List catalogue or a SKOS vocabulary.

During ad-hoc meeting of ipet-mdi members at OGC TC meeting (Toulouse, 2010) we discussed this issue ...
---
TH indicates that NGDC have several style-sheets for rendering this content - but suggests we may need a more focused style-sheet specifically for the WMO / WIS community. He also notes that the 'hierarchy' best-practices are not yet rendered in this form ...

TH suggests that the most productive route may be the conversion of the ISO19139 records in JSON [http://www.json.org/] (rather than HTML) to enable simple navigation of the record within a browser. By way of example, TH demonstrated the ncISO tool @ NGDC that crawls a THREDDS catalogue and builds a JSON document for browsing: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/eds/tds/. An example of the browsable hierarchy can be found here: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/eds/tds/oceanSITESMetadataAssessment.html

Hi Eiji. I have been monitoring the flurry of activity to finalize the report (lead primarily by yourself - thanks). Unfortunately I have let things run for a week or so longer than is healthy - my apologies.

I have allocated all of tomorrow to review the closing drafts & comment on any outstanding issues. Michael Burek has offered to help complete this task.
Comment by Jeremy Tandy [ 03/Jun/10 6:53 PM - Visible by: wis-users ]
The current status of the meeting report is:

    * the document can be accessed here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AQcTAyotgnOvZGRtN3R6YnFfMTgxY2RnaGh3ZGc&hl=en
    * all changes proposed have been reviewed & incorporated as appropriate ... too many to list here. Within the google-docs, please use the revision history [File > See Revision History] to see the most recent changes I have incorporated - compare against version 2088.
    * I *think* I have removed all of the 'strike-through' text
    * I cannot vouch for the spellings or grammar (it's very late!)

So what next?

As I am headed out on vacation tomorrow for two-weeks, Michael Burek has offered to coordinate the finalization & release of the meeting report. He will:

    * co-ordinate a final review (please participate if you can - the doc will need a full end-to-end read through / sanity check)
    * work with Atsushi on formatting etc. & publish the report to the WIS Wiki
    * take ALL the actions listed in the meeting report & create JIRA tickets for each one so we can track progress - expect to see some coming your way :-)

Michael will contact you all and outline the timescales for this last stage.

Once the report is published, we can extract all the recommendations & create some useful online user documentation to publish on the WIS wiki.

Comment by Jeremy Tandy [ 02/Sep/10 3:59 AM ]
This issue was discussed at meeting IPET-MDI 1 in Geneva (April 2010). The actions from the meeting include resolution of this concern. See the meeting report for more information (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/report/Report_IPETMDI_I_20100503.htm)

Definition of access control policy controlled vocabulary & implementation in metadata record
 
2.1.2.36 The subject here is the access constraints for the target dataset.

Recommendation 31: candidate vocabulary terms for WIS access constraints include:

- Unrestricted

- Resolution 40 and Resolution 25 Essential Data

- Resolution 40 and Resolution 25 Additional Data

- Custom

2.1.2.37 Unrestricted is semantically equivalent to Resolution 40 and Resolution 25 Essential Data.

Continuing current GTS practices where RTHs are responsible for enforcing access control policies on behalf of data-providers, GISCs will be responsible for enforcing the access control policies cited in the metadata record for each product.

Recommendation 32: best practice suggests that the absence the useConstraints attribute:

MD_Metadata/identificationInfo/MD_Identification/resourceConstraints/MD_LegalConstraints/useConstraints

implies Unrestricted. However, the Resolution 40 and Resolution 25 Essential Data access control category should be used explicitly to indicate that data-providers are sharing this dataset under WMO Resolution 40 or Resolution 25.

Recommendation 33: the Custom access control category is used to indicate access control that is defined by the data-provider. The details of the policy must be referenced by URL.

Recommendation 34: the access control policy will be defined in the following elements:

- MD_Metadata/identificationInfo/MD_Identification/resourceConstraints/MD_LegalConstraints/useLimitation/gco:CharacterString = "«category-code»"

- MD_Metadata/identificationInfo/MD_Identification/resourceConstraints/MD_LegalConstraints/useConstraints/MD_RestrictionCode = "otherRestrictions"

- MD_Metadata/identificationInfo/MD_Identification/resourceConstraints/MD_LegalConstraints/otherConstraints/gco:CharacterString = "«category-code»"

- «category-code» will be a semi-controlled vocabulary for the WMO Core Profile and can be either:

o "WMO Essential"

o "WMO Additional"

o «free-text»

"otherRestrictions" is part of the codelist MD_RestrictionCode

«free-text» is used to describe the custom access control policy and is recommended to include the URL of a resource describing the access control policy in detail.

If the access is NOT controlled (i.e. unrestricted) the resourceConstraints element is omitted.

2.1.2.38 Example from NOAA

Metadata constraints (WMO probably has their own language...)

This issue was discussed at meeting IPET-MDI 1 in Geneva (April 2010). The actions from the meeting include resolution of this concern. See the meeting report for more information (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/report/Report_IPETMDI_I_20100503.htm)

Recommendation 23: Where WMO Core Profile metadata records include multiple language definitions, validation will ensure that English definitions are present at a minimum.
---
Recommendation 30: multi-language implementations of code-lists may be used.
---
2.1.2.54 Multi-language metadata

Recommendation 51: the following policies will apply to multi-language metadata records:

- At a minimum, metadata will be published in English

- An abstract must primarily be in English; alternative language versions may be provided

- GISC systems will always operate on the primary English metadata

- Where a 3rd party wishes add translation to a metadata record, they must propose changes to the metadata custodian (data-owner) for the record. Only the metadata custodian (or their delegated agent) has the authority to update the metadata. Updates will be propagated via the WIS via the normal mechanism.

The default language and character set of the metadata record is explicited in the MD_Metadata/language and MD_Metadata/characterSet elements:

<gmd:language>
   <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://wis.wmo.int/2006/catalogues/gmxCodelists.xml#LanguageCode" codeListValue="eng"/>
</gmd:language>
<gmd:characterSet>
    <gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode codeList="http://wis.wmo.int/2006/catalogues/gmxCodelists.xml#MD_CharacterSetCode" codeListValue="utf8"/>
</gmd:characterSet>

Each alternate language for the metadata is defined via a MD_Metadata/locale element:

<gmd:locale>
   <gmd:PT_Locale id="locale-fr">
      <gmd:languageCode>
         <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://wis.wmo.int/2006/catalogues/gmxCodelists.xml#LanguageCode" codeListValue="fra"/>
         </gmd:languageCode>
      <gmd:characterEncoding>
          <gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode codeList="http://wis.wmo.int/2006/catalogues/gmxCodelists.xml#MD_CharacterSetCode" codeListValue="utf8"/>
      </gmd:characterEncoding>
  </gmd:PT_Locale>

</gmd:locale>

Each metadata element with a CharacterString type and free text domain can be instantiated with a gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType type:

<gmd:abstract xsi:type="gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType">
<gco:CharacterString>Abstract in english</gco:CharacterString>
    <gmd:PT_FreeText>
        <gmd:textGroup>
            <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#locale-fr">Résumé en français</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
        </gmd:textGroup>
        <gmd:textGroup>
            <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#locale-sp">Resumen en espanol</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
        </gmd:textGroup>
    </gmd:PT_FreeText>
</gmd:abstract>

In the example above, two alternate languages are assumed to be defined. The abstract element is provided in the default language with a common gco:CharacterString element. An additional gmd:PT_FreeText element is present, containing possibly a gmd:textGroup element for every alternate translation.
Translations may be defined in translation files instead of being embedded in the metadata record.

In this case, it is simpler to group in a single file the definition of one alternate language and the associated translations, each translated string identified by a unique id attribute. Here is an example translation file:

<gmd:PT_LocaleContainer
    xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco"
    xmlns:gmd="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gmd/gmd.xsd">
<!-- gmd:description element not shown -->
<gmd:locale>
    <gmd:PT_Locale id="locale-fr">
        <gmd:languageCode>
            <gmd:LanguageCode codeList="http://wis.wmo.int/2006/catalogues/gmxCodelists.xml#LanguageCode" codeListValue="fra"/>
        </gmd:languageCode>
        <gmd:characterEncoding>
            <gmd:MD_CharacterSetCode codeList="http://wis.wmo.int/2006/catalogues/gmxCodelists.xml#MD_CharacterSetCode" codeListValue="utf8"/>
        </gmd:characterEncoding>
    </gmd:PT_Locale>
</gmd:locale>
<!-- gmd:date element not shown -->
<!-- gmd:responsibleParty element not shown -->
<gmd:localisedString>
    <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#locale-fr" id="abstractfr">Résumé en français</gmd:LocalisedCharacterString>
</gmd:localisedString>
<!-- other gmd:localisedString elements not shown -->
</gmd:PT_LocaleContainer>

The translated values of textual metadata elements are then referenced in the multi-lingual metadata as in:

<gmd:abstract xsi:type="gmd:PT_FreeText_PropertyType">
<gco:CharacterString>Abstract in english</gco:CharacterString>
    <gmd:PT_FreeText>
        <gmd:textGroup xlink:href="fr-fr.xml#abstractfr"/>
    </gmd:PT_FreeText>
</gmd:abstract>

Note: the object type MemberName is used within software systems like a foreign key. As such it is never translated in multi-lingual metadata.

Recommendation 16: place-names used as keywords and geographicIdentifiers will be defined in a register (or controlled vocabulary) based on the content of Vol A. Each entry must have a UUID (as primary key) in addition to the (mostly) unique WMO station-code identifier. The station-gazetteer register & each entry will be resolvable by URL (incorporating the UUID) and, as a minimum, validate the authenticity of a given station.

The Volume A gazeteer implementation will be available in the form of a CT_CodelistCatalogue (e.g http://asdd.ga.gov.au/asdd/profileinfo/anzlic-allgens.xml) that can be referenced as: a keyword thesaurus

MD_Metadata/identificationInfo/MD_DataIdentification/descriptiveKeywords/MD_Keywords/thesaurusName/CI_Citation

or as an authority in the geographicIdentifier case:

MD_Metadata/identificationInfo/MD_DataIdentification/gmd:extent/EX_Extent/geographicElement/EX_GeographicDescription/gmd:geographicIdentifier/MD_Identifier/authority/CI_Citation

In the geographicIdentifier case, the code:

MD_Metadata/identificationInfo/MD_DataIdentification/extent/gmd:EX_Extent/geographicElement/EX_GeographicDescription/geographicIdentifier/MD_Identifier/authority/CI_Citation/identifier/MD_Identifier/code/CharacterString

shall have the form:

http://wis.wmo.int/WMOVolumeAGazeteer.xml#WMOStationNumber.

The CT_CodelistCatalogue includes a codeEntry element for each item in the catalog. The codelistItem/CodeListDictionary/codeEntry/description shall include the bounding box or location and elevation for the item in well-known text (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text).

Note: If the WMO Station Index refers to separate locations for surface and upper air observations, the location shall be described as MULTIPOINTZ((LON1 LAT1 ELE1),(LON2 LAT2 ELE2)).

The issue of deciding what is 'officially' published for a metadata release was discussed at meeting IPET-MDI 1 in Geneva (April 2010). See the meeting report for more information (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/report/Report_IPETMDI_I_20100503.htm)

Publication of the schemas remains an outstanding issue. Also note the comment: "GISCs are likely to keep a local copy of these entities in order to speed validation etc"

An extract of the meeting report is included below ...

---
2.1.2.64 Candidate release process (until congress 2011):

· OPAG-ISS / WISPO will establish a set of agreed release milestones for metadata guidelines. These will be organized to support the WIS project plan; e.g. guidelines released with sufficient lead-time ahead of major deliverables. The release schedule is critically important to maintain as this is the 'tempo' of change; implementers can plan to adapt at known dates and be assured that there will be no change until the next release milestone. Each release milestone must clearly define the reasons why it exists - what future project deliverable / outcome does it support?

· JIRA release management software [web-based service, provided by NCAR (Don Middleton)] used to capture issues.

· IPET-MDI chair will distribute 'problem tickets' to the team, whereupon they will be assessed each in turn against the growing historical knowledge base and 'inside' knowledge.

· Where IPET-MDI deem it necessary to propose new metadata usage guidelines to clarify or resolve issues, such problem tickets will be allocated to the AGREED release milestones in consultation with ET-WISC.

· Where metadata usage guidelines are considered to impact the GISC implementation community, then a future release milestone will be identified where the guideline becomes BINDING. Until that time, the guideline is not enforceable but will be marked as DEPRECATED in the automated validation. Any instances of deprecated practices will identify when they are due to become binding.

· IPET-MDI will develop & publish the guidelines and associated collateral material (including updates to the automated validation scripts) in time to meet the release milestone.

· Release package ‘manifest’ – host @ wis.wmo.int/2010/...

o Schema(s) iso19139

o Schematron rules

o Controlled vocabularies, code-list extensions (& gazetteers)

o Guidance notes – wiki (& later PDF document compiled by WISPO-contractor)

o Sample metadata

o Static metadata components & component management tools

o Conformance tests

o Stylesheets + ‘rubric tests’ [prioritize ‘minimum metadata’ requirements]

o Metadata editor stylesheets; template metadata

o UML

Recommendation 59: the candidate release process was approved.

Recommendation 60: all material pertaining to a release of the WMO Core Profile standard will be published to:

- http://wis.wmo.int/&#xAB;YYYY&#xBB;

Note that GISCs are likely to keep a local copy of these entities in order to speed validation etc.

The WMO Secretariat will support the release process.

The IPET-MDI team will work closely with the WISPO and their nominated expert contractor to further develop the metadata guidelines into the Manual on WIS.

2.1.2.53 Marking metadata as draft

To support the initial implementation of WIS, Metéo France will create a complete set of metadata records for the GTS products intended for global exchange. These metadata records will form a baseline for the DAR catalogue until the data-owners (i.e. WMO member-states & organizations) are ready to begin maintenance of their metadata records. As these records are created by Metéo France rather than the official data-owner, these records will be marked as draft.

Once the metadata has been validated by the appropriate member organization, ownership will be transferred and the 'DRAFT' status will be removed. In order to ensure that DRAFT status is amended during validation, the team recommend a scheme whereby the member organization will need to overwrite an element with their own information.

The following schemes were reviewed but discarded:

- MD_Metadata/metadataMaintenance/MD_MaintenanceInformation/maintenanceNote = "DRAFT"

- MD_Metadata/metadataConstraints/MD_Constraints/useLimitation = "DRAFT"

Recommendation 50: Météo France 'baseline' metadata will be marked as DRAFT using the following scheme:

- gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:metadataMaintenance/gmd:MD_MaintenanceInformation/gmd:contact/gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty/gmd:organisationName = "Meteo France (on behalf of «NC or DCPC» by interim agreement with ICG-WIS)"

- gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:metadataMaintenance/gmd:MD_MaintenanceInformation/gmd:contact/gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty/gmd:contactInfo/gmd:CI_Contact/gmd:address/gmd:CI_Address/gmd:electronicMailAddress = "quelqu-un@meteo.fr"

This is a highlevel description of the need for metadata guidance. I expect it will have many subtasks. Dave
Comment by Jeremy Tandy [ 31/Aug/10 7:37 AM ]
The concerns raised in this issue were discussed at length during IPET-MDI 1 meeting in Geneva (April 2010). The meeting report (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/report/Report_IPETMDI_I_20100503.htm) provides guidance for metadata authors. The guidance generated at the meeting is incomplete; a list of outstanding issues (and links to the issues within JIRA) can be found here:

Recommendation 13: boundingBox

MD_Metadata/identificationInfo/MD_DataIdentification/extent/EX_Extent/geographicElement/EX_GeographicBoundingBox

will be mandatory to ensure compliance with INSPIRE regulations. Where the sensor platform is mobile (e.g. AMDAR, ships or bouys) the bounding box will describe the maximum reasonable extent within which the platform may operate, potentially a global extent. However, it should be noted that GTS practices (tables C1, C2 & C3 of the Manual on GTS) keep the extent of the bulletin fixed and require that the data from mobile platforms is allocated to the appropriate bulletin based on the location of the platform.

 

                The team noted that specifying datasets that include the north or south poles may be difficult. Also, best practices on acceptable units for lat/lon must provided (e.g. -180 to +180, -90 to +90; 0 to 360; or East/West notation.

2.1.2.15 The team was asked to verify the agreement made at the ICG-WIS 6 indicating that only the fileIdentifier element and metadata creation date-time stamps will be used to assess uniqueness / duplication of a given metadata record compared to other records.The sequence (time-order) of metadata files with the same fileIdentifier will be assessed according to the date-time stamp.

Recommendation 7: WIS implementers will assess the uniqueness of a metadata record using only the fileIdentifier element and metadata creation date-time stamps:

gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:fileIdentifier

gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:dateStamp

Version numbering or date-stamps are explicitly forbidden from the fileIdentifier element. The MD_Metadata/dateStamp is the correct place for this information. It may also optionally appear in the metadata filename (see below). Changing the fileIdentifier element in any way will appear to be a new product!

Note to implementers: The gmd:dateStamp within the metadata record should be distinguished from the datestamp in OAI-PMH wrapper XML, which appears as oai:header/oai:datestamp. Note that the OAI-PMH Implementation Guideline mandates that the OAI-PMH Aggregators (i.e. a WIS Center that provides metadata harvested from somewhere else) must use local harvesting time as oai:datestamp. In other words, OAI-PMH providers of GISCs and RTH-type of DCPCs must not use gmd:dateStamp as oai:datestamp, because connected GISC cannot use incremental harvesting from such provider. In some implementations the timestamp of metadata files are given as oai:datestamp, and the operator can cause re-synchronization by changing metadata file time stamps (such as touch(1) command). This is intended behavior, and developers should follow this methodology so as not to disable this functionality.

This issue was discussed at meeting IPET-MDI 1 in Geneva (April 2010). The actions from the meeting include resolution of this concern. See the meeting report for more information (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/report/Report_IPETMDI_I_20100503.htm)

Separate guidance is provided on BOTH filenames and metadata identifiers
---
Recommendation 1: when metadata file is transferred between WIS centres, the metadata filenames:
- must comply with the WMO file-naming-convention;

- should use T_ product identifiers in place of A_ product identifiers to aid simplicity

- should truncate W_ product identifiers to form an invariant string; i.e. the date and amendment / correction code will be excluded

- must ensure that Z_ product identifier are globally unique within the WIS

- must use the «YYYYMMDDhhmmss» element from the top-level file-naming convention to express the metadata publication / update date-time (this must represent the same date-time as the MD_Metadata/dateStamp element);

- Use an '.xml' extension:

- Examples:

- T_FCUK31_C_EGRR_20100310180000.xml

- T_HHXA05_C_BABJ_20100427083000.xml

- W_FR-meteofrance-toulouse,GRIB,ARPEGE-75N10N-60W65E_C_LFPW_20100428115800.xml
---
Recommendation 2: gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:fileIdentifier is a URI (Universal Resource Identifier) structured as follows:
- fixed string "urn:x-wmo:md:"

- citation authority

- Examples:

§ "int.wmo.wis"

§ "gov.noaa"

§ "edu.ucar.ncar"

§ "uk.gov.metoffice"

- Citation authority "int.wmo.wis" is used for all datasets intended for global exchange

- Citation authority for other datasets remains with the dataset provider, expressed using a reverse-DNS name

- Register of citation authorities should be maintained by WMO secretariat

- separator colon ':'

- empty string, reserved for future extension

- separator colon ':'

- unique identifier:

- if a GTS «TTAAii» and «CCCC» is allocated for the product use «TTAAii»«CCCC»;

- else if a WMO Product Identifier is allocated for the product use a truncated WMO product identifier field of the associated data-files, excluding the date-stamp and any other varying elements as necessary; or

- else use a locally-unique identifier for the citation authority (not recommended for data and products intended for global exchange)

Examples:

- urn:x-wmo:md:int.wmo.wis::FCUK31EGRR

- urn:x-wmo:md:cn.gov.cma::NMC.NWP.HCXA05BABJ

- urn:x-wmo:md:int.wmo.wis::FR-meteofrance-toulouse,GRIB,ARPEGE-75N10N-60W65E_C_LFPW
---
Recommendation 3: gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:fileIdentifier elements are treated as CASE-INSENSITIVE when assessing metadata records for duplication.
---
Recommendation 5: where possible, the metadata identifier should map onto the invariant elements of the data-filename to help a human reader infer the connection. An explicit machine-interpretable linkage to the associated data-files will be expressed within the metadata record itself using the

MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileName

element with regular expression of filename as content. Additional mandatory elements are: fileDescription and fileType
---
Recommendation 6: where the citation authority is int.wmo.wis (signifying a dataset intended for global exchange), a standardized regular expression syntax will be used to express the linkage between the metadata record and the associated data-files via the

MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileName

element. Multiple linkages may be expressed using the OR syntax in regular expression '|'.

Examples:

- Data-filename instance: "A_SMCI01BABJ281200_C_BABJ_20100428120000.txt"

- MD_Metadata/fileIdentifier="urn:x-wmo:md:int.wmo.wis::SMCI01BABJ"

This issue was discussed at meeting IPET-MDI 1 in Geneva (April 2010). The actions from the meeting include resolution of this concern. See the meeting report for more information (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/report/Report_IPETMDI_I_20100503.htm)

Recommendation 45: when serving querying responses from the GISC search portal, GISCs will amend the information served to the user by inserting an additional MD_Distributor object that describes their local GISC-cache. This gives the recipient a choice of destinations: the original source or the local cache. Such amended metadata must not be re-distributed for other GISCs]. There is no restriction on the format or structure of onlineResource attributes describing the local GISC-cache. Also note that there is no restriction on the format or structure of onlineResource attributes describing products that are not globally exchanged: i.e. those served only from an NC or DCPC and do not form part of the GISC cache.

The meeting report provides significantly more information. Please refer.

This issue was discussed at meeting IPET-MDI 1 in Geneva (April 2010). The actions from the meeting include resolution of this concern. The meeting report (http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WDM/IPET-MDI-I/report/Report_IPETMDI_I_20100503.htm) states:

+++
Recommendation 60: all material pertaining to a release of the WMO Core Profile standard will be published to: http://wis.wmo.int/&#xAB;YYYY&#xBB;
Note that GISCs are likely to keep a local copy of these entities in order to speed validation etc.
+++

The current published version of the WMO Core Profile is published to wis.wmo.int/2006
Once formalized, recommendations from IPET-MDI 1 will be published to wis.wmo.int/2010

Further information is provided in the meeting report on the 'namespaces' used for metadata identifiers. Recommendation 2 refers.

Recommendation 5: where possible, the metadata identifier should map onto the invariant elements of the data-filename to help a human reader infer the connection. An explicit machine-interpretable linkage to the associated data-files will be expressed within the metadata record itself using the

MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileName

element with regular expression of filename as content. Additional mandatory elements are: fileDescription and fileType
---
Recommendation 6: where the citation authority is int.wmo.wis (signifying a dataset intended for global exchange), a standardized regular expression syntax will be used to express the linkage between the metadata record and the associated data-files via the

MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileName

element. Multiple linkages may be expressed using the OR syntax in regular expression '|'.

Examples:

- Data-filename instance: "A_SMCI01BABJ281200_C_BABJ_20100428120000.txt"

- MD_Metadata/fileIdentifier="urn:x-wmo:md:int.wmo.wis::SMCI01BABJ"

- MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileName="/^A_

      SMIC01BABJ[0-9]+_C_BABJ_[0-9]+\.txt$/"

- MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileDescription="General

      description of the datafile"

- MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileType="text/plain"

- Data-filename instance: "W_FR-meteofrance-toulouse,GRIB,ARPEGE-75N10N-60W65E_C_LFPW_

      20061001000000.bin"

- MD_Metadata/fileIdentifier="urn:x-wmo:md:int.wmo.wis::FR-meteofrance-toulouse,GRIB,ARPEGE-75N10N-

      60W65E_C_LFPW"

- MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileName="/^W_FR-

     meteofrance-toulouse,GRIB,ARPEGE-75N10N-60W65E_C_LFPW_[0-9]{14}\.bin$/"

- MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileDescription="General

      description of the datafile"

- MD_Metadata/gmd:describes/gmx:MX_DataSet/gmx:dataFile/gmx:MX_DataFile/gmx:fileType="application/

      octet-stream"

No serious issues are likely to arise from use of regular expressions on GTS filenames as the character set is limited to International Alphabet 5. Further information on Regular Expressions can be found at http://docs.google.com/View?id=df4kmgqs_50ffmzmqgj.

The summary is:

- Metadata creator or manager should provide regular expression that is understandable for all GISCs. Recommended syntax is chosen from common subset of various implementations (cf. above reference for detail; syntax letters are ? * + {,} (|) ^ $ [] [^] [a-z] \d \w . \. \+).

- GISC Cache should support at least recommended syntax. It may also support other metacharacter for further development, but it must not alter recommended syntax and its semantics. It is advised to check regular expression provided in metadata before matching.

- Although WMO Filename Convention is case-insensitive, metadata creators should give regular expression in correct case of letters. For example, location identifier should be described as [A-Z]{4}, not [a-z]{4}.

- GISC Cache should use "ignore-case" option of regular expression library in matching metadata and dataset fragment.
               
Above recommendations should be reviewed when use of the regular expression is extended beyond current GTS files and bulletins, or WIS data or products intended for global exchange is extended beyond current GTS.

The OGC Met Ocean domain working group continues to create a met-ocean profile for WMS. More information can be found here: http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/WebHome

This work is ongoing & I will maintain visibility of the outcomes. I consider this a LOW priority activity as it does not contribute directly to the success of the WIS or help resolve data format issues within the aviation community. My proposal is to let this activity run at its own timescales. Participants from NMS's are involved so I do not anticipate that the result will be problematic for the WMO community

Whilst not 'published' this activity was undertaken at the 2nd workshop for use of OGC standards in meteorology (Toulouse, 2009) and subsequently via the OGC Met Ocean domain working group 'conceptual modelling' group. The minutes of telecons (http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/ConceptualModellingMinutes) reveal insight into the discussions.

As we now have a strategy in place resulting from this community engagement, I think this ISSUE is time expired.

Development of DATA standards is a collaborative exercise that exists under with the OGC Met-Ocean domain working group. Refer to their wiki for more information: http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/

The 'conceptual modelling' sub-group is co-chaired by Andrew Woolf (STFC) and Jeremy Tandy (Met Office).

Part of the MO.dwg activity has been out-reach to communities of interest. This has enabled the identification of existing DATA standards (http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/MetWeatherExchangeModels). At present time, the strategy employed aligns with that recommended by INSPIRE (http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/reports/ImplementingRules/DataSpecifications/D2.6_v3.0.pdf). ISO19156 'Observations and Measurements' (O&M) (http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/om) has been identified as the 'target' conceptual model. The use-cases (defined here: http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/MetOceanUseCases) are being used to define the data objects used within this domain of interest. These data objects are then mapped onto the O&M conceptual model to assess whether it is fit for purpose. A PROFILE of O&M will be created for meteorology and climate; ideally this will be a 'type-1' profile (restriction only). If necessary, O&M will be extended to provide a richer conceptual model for this domain. Finally, the working group will examine how to encode the ADDITIONAL metadata afforded by O&M into the 'standard' encodings in use today.

Guidance for metadata authors will be provided in response to issue WIS-201(https://vets.development.ucar.edu/jira/browse/WIS-201)

Guidance on the transition from Vol C1 to WIS DAR catalogue will be provided in response to issue WIS-195 (https://vets.development.ucar.edu/jira/browse/WIS-195) - this transition plan will include training requirements for WIS participants.

I note that the WIS Programme Office plan to fund a technical author (?) to develop the Manual on WIS, which I expect to draw together disparate sources of guidance.

This issue refers only to DATA standards.

Definition of the use-cases used to drive the development of data standards can be found at the OGC twiki for Met-Ocean domain working group (http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/MetOceanUseCases).

These use cases have been developed with input from open & inclusive discussion stimulated by OGC. The main stakeholder groups include: WMO, Aviation and INSPIRE.
