[Walter, Jeff (GSFC-4230)]

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of NASA, I cordially invite you to attend the webinar referenced below on November 12.  The work described here is a part of NASA’s contribution to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy’s (OSTP) Big Earth Data Initiative (BEDI) Please see the email below for a more detailed description and instructions on how to attend.  If you are unable to attend the live webinar, it will be recorded and uploaded to the “NASA Earthdata” YouTube channel approximately 1-2 weeks later and you can view it there at your convenience.

Subject: Invitation to Metadata Recommendations, Dialects, Evaluation & Improvement


You have been invited to the NASA Earthdata Webinar "Metadata Recommendations, Dialects, Evaluation & Improvement"

The initial goal of many metadata efforts was discoverable data but, like many other elements of data management, the metadata landscape has evolved considerably over the last decade to include new use cases and requirements. At the same time, years of emphasizing discovery and minimal metadata requirements have resulted in a culture that accepts that 1) metadata are only for discovery and 2) complete metadata are too complex or difficult for researchers to understand and create.

Evolving the culture past this “data-discovery plateau” requires a multi-faceted approach that addresses multiple use cases, multiple recommendations, metadata in multiple dialects, and limited human and financial resources. The approach we have developed includes web-based tools for understanding and comparing recommendations and dialects, flexible comparisons of completeness of metadata collections (in multiple dialects) with respect to particular recommendations, evaluation of completeness of single metadata records, identification of specific metadata improvement needs and an open forum for sharing information, experiences, and examples.
