1. Adoption of RDA-DFT Terminology and Data Model to the Description and Structuring of Atmospheric Data Aaron Addison, Rudolf Husar, Cynthia Hudson-Vitale

2. Background DataFed & the Air Quality Community Catalog Problem Addressed Facilitate data interoperability Extend data discovery to non-domain researchers

3. RDA Data Foundation and Terminology (DFT) Data Foundation & Terminology WG

4. RDA Data Foundation and Terminology (DFT) Adoption plan ●Map DFT model to DataFed/AQ Com Cat data model ●Assess potential RDA/DFT compliance ●Real-world evaluation of outcome

5. Questions What are the best practices for applying PID’s to aggregated data collections? To what granularity? What is the workflow for becoming DFT compliant? How does this work for a system of aggregated datasets – or a data mediator? Where does the non-domain user fit into the DFT data model?

6. Thank you!
