ADIwg Update to AOOS 2013-14 project Making ISO metadata accessible September 25, 2014 Stan Smith, USGS

Project Background Mission Phase II – support for DATA metadata Adoption of ISO 19115-2 as standard Agreed to share high investment cost of understanding and implementation Implementation must support diversity of needs and technical requirements across ADIwg membership Replace Phase I project standard based on FGDC Work has been accelerated by … Sharing workload among ADIwg membership FY13 funding from National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center (NCCWSC - USGS) FY14 and FY15 funding from Community for Data Integration (CDI – USGS) Work via ADIwg is largely on a “volunteer” basis, grants help accelerated the process since staff resource can be allocated directly. www.adiwg.org 9/22/2018

Project Objectives (ISO) Eliminate necessity to learn ISO 19115 family of standards Make it easier for organizations to become ISO compliant Integrate ISO support into local applications and services Implement custom web services with integrated ISO metadata capability Host a public web service for generation of ISO metadata records Host a public web app for PIs to enter and edit metadata Support both project and data metadata in ISO Most important was to design an architecture that would allow all our organizations with their greatly varying requirements and technical abilities to benefit from the end products. www.adiwg.org 9/22/2018

Current Project Scope In scope Support creation of original metadata records Use portable, open source code library Create a user-friendly metadata preparation tool Accommodate diverse needs and technical abilities Extensible: Accept input in multiple standards Create metadata in multiple standards Not in scope Metadata clearinghouse (store & search metadata records) Translation between XML metadata standards (e.g. FGDC->ISO) Provide metadata snippets to other metadata tools www.adiwg.org 9/22/2018

Main Toolkit Components ADIwg mdJSON mdTranslator mdEditor www.adiwg.org 9/22/2018

Toolkit in Practice 1. Hosted Web Service ISO XML World Wide Web ADIwg mdTranslator Metadata Writer JSON Reader Internal Format Other* ISO FGDC* Reader* ISO* Writer* Hosted Web Service ADIwg ISO XML World Wide Web This now implemented in our demo site. When documentation is complete we will release the public version of this service. www.adiwg.org 9/22/2018

Toolkit in Practice 2. Integrated System Component ADIwg JSON mdTranslator Metadata Writer JSON Reader Internal Format Other* ISO FGDC* Reader* ISO* Writer* Database ADIwg JSON ISO XML Agency System This is our next development step We just reorganized our GitHub repositories to support the mdTranslator and ADIwg JSON schema as independent projects (think back to Primer slide) Ruby Gem Agency Server www.adiwg.org 9/22/2018

Toolkit in Practice 3. Hosted Metadata Editor/Translator ISO XML World Wide Web mdTranslator Metadata Writer JSON Reader Internal Format Other* ISO FGDC* Reader* ISO* Writer* ADIwg JSON Third scenario is to host a web site to gather metadata on a web form. Likely to imbed web form in a Rails 4 project. Remember open-source: We want to be able to provide developers with a web form they can modify to keep pace with changes they make to the translator. Hope to start work fall 2014. Hosted Web Form Hosted Web Service www.adiwg.org 9/22/2018

Development Milestones Support ADIwg Project Metadata standard Refactor and Package mdTranslator as Ruby Gem Complete Developer and User Documentation Open REST endpoint to public Provide web form access and code Support ISO 19115-1 Funded by CDI 2014/2015 Work In Progress Determine Supported ISO Classes & Attributes Build Example ISO XML Verify Supported Fields List support for other standards Design Translator Architecture Draft ISO JSON Standard Build JSON validator components Build reader and writer components (JSON->ISO XML) Host Demo for mdTranslator Development will continue with or without CDI funding – just will proceed faster with funding ADIwg needs to complete to satisfy requirement from ACCER Also from IARPC (attached to OSTP) and the 2013 OSTP and OMB Memorandums Funded by NCCWSC 2013 *Blue Milestones Reached www.adiwg.org 9/22/2018
