coordination with CBSLD-EDI
ICG-WIGOS-7, January, 2018

3. TT-WDP Terms of Reference Phase 1 – Guidance on WIGOS Data Partnerships
Maintain awareness of the evolving operational and policy context of integrating data contributed to WIGOS from non- NMHS sources, and
Develop WIGOS guidance material on Data Partnerships on:
establishing and maintaining data partnerships
integration of data from non-NMHS data providers
data quality and data quality monitoring
data sharing and data exchange
commercial considerations
other related matters
ICG-WIGOS-7, January, 2018

4. TT-WDP Terms of Reference Phase 2 – Guidance WIGOS Data Management
Consider current and emerging information and communications technologies (ICT), best practices for strategic data management and emerging trends in data and its use, and
Develop WIGOS guidance material on Data Management and Data Stewardship on:
the role of WIS, NMHS and partner systems in the data lifecycle
best practices for data integrity and data preservation
the challenge and opportunities of ‘Big Data’ and associated emerging trends in relation to data and its use
models and best practices in data stewardship (roles, responsibilities for data governance)
matters of compatibility among the legacy and emerging data management practices of the various WMO Programmes and Commissions (e.g. CBS, CIMO, CCl, CHy)
On emerging data issues, maintain awareness of the activities and align guidance material with the direction of the EC TT-DPEI, the perspectives of Technical Commissions, and subsequent actions by CBS.

7. Phase 2 - WIGOS Data Management
Overarching process  ICT-ISS TT-IM
Considerations/Requirements to support WIGOS
explicitly support OSCAR Metadata, WDQMS as elements of WMO IM
handle obs of different quality and stages of processing
support data access to NMHS and non-NMHS users
support real-time, historic, and non-hydromet data
support a variety of data licensing/data policies
clarity of data stewardship roles
change management processes
accommodate range of capabilities across Members
e.g., limited computing, limited bandwidth

Prepare final version of Manual and Guide and circulate for comments within members before submission to Congress

10. TT-WDP Action Plan – Phase 2
ICG-WIGOS-7, January, 2018

11. Requests/Recommendations to ICG-WIGOS-7
There is a basic need to complete the migration from traditional alphanumerical codes (TAC) to the Table Driven Code Forms (TDCF) in order to support the WIGOS Metadata Standard (WMDS).
ICG-WIGOS should make recommendations to EC-70 on how to address this issue.
There is a risk associated with strict compliance with the WMDS that could limit international exchange of observations. 
ICG-WIGOS should consider if the flexibilities in the WDMS are sufficient to accommodate all observation providers
The need for more training activities on the foundational building blocks of WIGOS (OSCAR/Surface, WIGOS metadata standard, IDs)
ICG-WIGOS should consider training and other measures to accelerate WIGOS Readiness among Members.
