Task Team WIGOS Metadata

22 November 2022 13:00-14:30 UTC

Agenda & Notes

• Welcome, adoption of 2022.11.03-TT-WIGOSMD (5')
• Secretariat updates (Anna)
  • FT2022-2 was approved last week, the codes are published to the registry and we can work on branches now.
• WMDR2 (Joerg) (TECO presentation for reference)
  • Report on telecom with Remy and Enrico. In short, they don't see WMDR2 as part of the current workplan and Joerg has been requested to write one or two pages on the current requirements to justify inclusion of this in the workplan. (John) tried to apply the new i-adopt concepts and sent an email to Joerg, Anna and Sid B. with some results of this exploration including a spreadsheet of the analysis and welcomes comments on what to do next. (Markus) use of deprecated standards causes problems, we had to make a special arrangements to retrograde our standards back to ISO 19115 for WIS. (Joerg) all are invited to let Joerg know if there are some good arguments for transition that he can include in the short paper. (to explain again at next meeting and discuss options for other ways to evolve).
