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

[Ted Habermann]

Tyler,

I heard your talk on this topic at the EDM Workshop. Sounds like an interesting project. Good luck!

The approach that Scott Pecham et al. have taken in the Scientific Variables Ontology (http://www.geoscienceontology.org/ <http://www.geoscienceontology.org/>) is definitely worth looking into. He has had support from NSF and DARPA in development of this so there is already a Federal footprint.

I agree that Metadata for machines <https://www.slideshare.net/tedhabermann/metadata-for-humans-and-machines> is a very interesting topic. I have talked with Eric Schultes about using The Metadata Game <https://www.tedhabermann.com/the-metadata-game/home> in the the Metadata For Machines workshops. It is designed as an ice-breaker for diverse groups working on metadata…

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.

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.
