[ESIP-CF] [ESIP-all] Documentation Cluster Meeting

[Ted Habermann]

Hello all,

Hopefully you all know that we are having a telecon next week. It is
currently scheduled for Tuesday morning, although I hope to be able to move
it to Wednesday. The goal of this telecon is to set up an agenda for the
ESIP meeting the next week.

There are two goals for the ESIP meeting:
1. Decide on a strategy for moving new names into the CF-Standards Name
list and
2. Identify a set of documentation "objects" and compare current approaches
to describing them to 1) facilitate translations between dialects, 2)
identify "best of breed" approaches, and 3) develop a new set of
conventions that cover these objects.

I hope that Ed and Alexandar others can take the lead on item 1.

I am trying to develop some examples and materials on the ESIP wiki to
support #2. These pages are in the Documentation Cluster / Documentation
Connections category and there are currently two: one on Data Centers and
Distributors and one on Online Resources. Other candidates include People,
Citations, Extents, Identifiers, Identification Information, Lineage, Data
Quality results, ...

If anyone in the group would like to take a shot at one of these, or some
other, it would be great...

I am also trying to develop an xml representation of this information (see
attached) and an xsl for displaying it. Seems to me that this makes more
sense than yet another spreadsheet. The "design" is crude, but hopefully
effective. If others know of a better approach - please suggest it...

Sorry for the potential mixup on the scheduling (100% my fault) - stay
tuned for an update...
Ted
