Notes
Tom opened the meeting and welcomed all attendees. Each attendee had an opportunity to introduce themselves and briefly describe their professional background, roles, and experiences with metadata, as well as hobbies or interests.
Anna provided a brief overview of the SC-IMT structure with its expert teams and where the ET-Metadata team sits within the structure. She presented the list of relevant WMO publications for which the WIS and WIGOS metadata standards are identified and briefly highlighted the two primary procedures available to amend WMO publications.
Tom Kralidis provided an overview of the ET-Metadata team noting that the team first started in 2020 and this is the second round with team members from all around the world. Tom then provided an overview of the ET-Metadata Terms of Reference (ToRs) noting in particular the collaboration with other standard bodies such as W3C, OGC, and ISO for harmonization of metadata standards where possible. Tom then proceeded to provide an overview of the Task Team on WIS Metadata and its ToRs and Joerg provided an overview of the Task Team on WIGOS Metadata and its ToRs.
Tom highlighted two key activities of interest. First, one of the ToRs requires the team to look at the relevant metadata standards to identify common building blocks with recommendations for future evolution and harmonization across the standards. He invited all members of this team to let Tom or Anna know of their interest in this activity in a 3rd task team under ET-Metadata. Secondly, he invited members of this team to express their interest in working on developing a program for a WMO metadata conference.
Tom closed the meeting by explaining the architecture of participation in GitHub, noting that the team will meet twice a year and inviting all members to make final remarks.
