[ESIP-CF] IT&I Rant&Rave: What's metadata for? 3 examples of non-traditional metadata use, David Blodgett, USGS - Tomorrow (Aug. 2), 3 EDT

[Erin Robinson]

Hi All -

**Apologies for the cross post to documentation and IT&I**

The Information Technology and Interoperability Committee's August
Rant/Rave is tomorrow, Thursday, August 2 at 3 pm EDT. This month's
presenter is David Blodgett, Center for Integrated Data Analytics
(CIDA)USGS WI Water Science Center. Feel free to forward this on to others
that may be interested.

*Title: *What's metadata for? Three examples of metadata used in a
non-traditional way.
*Abstract: *David will present three applications that use ISO metadata in
ways that fall outside of the typical discover and describe use case. The
Geo Data Portal, implements the typical discover and describe use case, but
goes on to use service metadata formalisms to allow generalized machine to
machine data integration. The Downscaled Climate Data Derivative Portal
uses a set of ISO metadata records to manage all the data artifacts and
tool tips in the application. The National Water Census Hydrologic Model
Intercomparison Portal uses ISO metadata to track multiple versions of a
modeling group's hydrologic model runs and links those runs to related post
processing information. This presentation will be a mix of fast paced
demonstration and explanation of the system architecture.
