[Esip-documentation] Help us develop ESIP FAIR Metadata Recommendations

[Tyler Christensen - NOAA Federal]

Hi Ted *et al.*,

I missed the first call in the FAIR metadata series yesterday, but will
definitely try to call in for the others.

I'm on a cross-Federal-agency group that's looking at machine-readable
standards for data dictionaries. Federal agencies do an *okay* job with the
dataset-level metadata, but we are very inconsistent on documenting the
details of each parameter within a dataset-- type, units, code definitions,
null values, etc. We did a survey of Federal agencies, and it should come
out as an OSTP report eventually.

Having detailed info in a machine-readable standard format is key for FAIR
data access. The GO FAIR folks are even doing a new series of Metadata for
Machines workshops
<https://www.go-fair.org/resources/go-fair-workshop-series/metadata-for-machines-workshops/>
to help define standards. None in the US yet, but we're working on it.

Thanks,
Tyler
