[Esip-documentation] ACDD: add "locations" & "locations_vocabulary"?

[Sean Gordon]

We do have a meeting today. I’m not sure why the invite hasn’t posted yet…

I think this fits right in with the discussion today! I’m adding the text from the invite:

Hello every one—

   Thanks for your participation at the Winter Meeting this year. We had a great brainstorming session that Kaylin and I will be using to help guide the cluster during the first half of the year. We also had a very interesting joint session with the Information Quality and Preservation and Stewardship collaboration areas. We hope to continue this positive interaction at this Summer’s meeting and into the future.

Today we would like to focus the discussion on a documentation use case for projected data. We will hear briefly from Mary Jo Brodzik, who works at NSIDC on how this affects her documentation work. We’d then like to open it up to discussion.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi John,
I think that's a good idea and this would be useful for NOAA data as well. I believe that this cluster is looking at ways to manage/document suggestions for improvements to ACDD 1.3...

Sean/Kaylin - Do we have a meeting today? If so, can we add this to the agenda?

Anna

The current Attribute Convention for Dataset Discovery (ACDD-1.3<http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Attribute_Convention_for_Data_Discovery>) provides the following fields for capturing keywords:
keywords
keywords_vocabulary
instrument
instrument_vocabulary

platform
platform_vocabulary
I would propose the addition of the following:
locations
locations_vocabulary
This would allow us to enter, for example, GCMD Location Keywords<http://gcmdservices.gsfc.nasa.gov/static/kms/locations/locations.csv?ed_wiki_keywords_page> to help enable placename-based data searches:
locations: "Continent > North America > United States Of America > Hawaii, Ocean > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Hawaiian Islands > Oahu"
locations_keyword: "GCMD Location Keywords"
Thoughts?
Thanks,
