Purpose

The goal of the workshop is a better understanding of how metadata specifications can be aligned to support cross-discipline (or cross domain) data integration and analysis, with a consideration of standards from the social, health and environmental sciences, along with generic all-purpose metadata standards. It will do so with specific reference on the one hand to the standards and initiatives mentioned below and on the other hand to specific case studies in infectious disease, disaster risk and resilient cities.

Topics Overview

The workshop is designed to focus on two dimensions in the interdisciplinary use of data and metadata:

  • From high-level to detail: How to support discovery of data on the basis of a high-level description, and possibly also on more details like concepts related to observations and variables? How to support analysis of data across domains?
  • From domain-specific to cross-domain: How can domain-specific data/metadata be transformed in a way that cross-domain approaches regarding discovery and analysis can be supported?

We propose to address those dimensions through the following topics:

  1. Cross-domain use of metadata specifications
  2. Standards for specific activities in cross-domain use
  3. Data description and organisation
  4. Workflow for data description
  5. Recommendations and design principles

The following existing metadata 'standards' are represented in the workshop:

  • ISO 19115 Geographic Information (Steve Richard, Simon Cox)
  • CERIF (Rebecca Koskela)
  • EML - Ecological Metadata Language (Bill Michener, Rebecca Koskela)
  • DDI (Jay Greenfield, Dan Gillman, Arofan Gregory, Larry Hoyle, Steve McEachern, Wendy Thomas, Joachim Wackerow)
  • HL7/FHIR (Harold Solbrig, Eric Prud'hommeaux, Jay Greenfield)
  • DATS (Alejandra Gonzalez Beltran)
  • DCAT (Peter Winstanley, Alejandra Gonzalez Beltran, Simon Cox, Phil Archer)
  • SSN (Armin Haller, Simon Cox)
  • QB (Data Cube) (Phil Archer, Arofan Gregory, Eric Prud'hommeaux)
  • Other W3C (Phil Archer, Eric Prud'hommeaux)
