- Wikimedia/WMO integration: how can we make WMO data/metadata more accessible to Wikimedia
- (Enrico) WIS2.0 is going to support the climate community for the long-time series of observations static data which is updated frequently and climate data will be a good feed to the Wikimedia system. The Secretariat will support the project.
- (Hassan) Wikimedia with the web-based searches could be a good example for the WIS2.0 demonstration project
- (David) a link back to the source data and the information of period is also important to be shown on Wikimedia pages
- (Enrico) how Wikimedia deals with version control. (Miguel) There are pages containing the history changes with links.
- (Jörg) Currently, WMO supports open license.
- (Enrico) suggests focusing on the use case, to make a case from the user side, what advantage/benefits for publishing WMO data on Wikimedia.
- (Guillaume) Data conversion needed? ? (Miguel/Pierre) Observations data need to be converted from xml to Jason (Commons), but not metadata. Links for reference: https://stations.wikimedia.ca/ and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Weather.gc.ca/Almanac/2402590.tab
- (Miguel) Monitoring tools for changes are available.
- (Jörg) Source of the information of observations is suggested to be referenced to WMO (OSCAR or WIS/WIGOS catalog)
- (Tom) we should be able to integrate WMO OSCAR/Surface stations into Wikimedia as an initial integration experiment/project
Actions
- Tom to circulate the presentation to the group
- to have a separate meeting with the same group to discuss the project plan with deliverables, timeline, and user benefits to demonstrate the integration between WMO metadata discovery and Wikimedia.
- Miguel to write the request to Jörg for further information about the OSCAR
