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:
- Cross-domain use of metadata specifications
- Standards for specific activities in cross-domain use
- Data description and organisation
- Workflow for data description
- 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)
