11. This attribute exists in the NcML files extracted from data files on TDS. It was not considered in the initial translation, but can be combined with publisher information to form either distribution information or a service operation connectPoint netcdf/@location = distribution | service

13. netcdf/attribute/@name=project/@value This attribute provides information about the project that is responsible for the dataset. Initially this information was translated into an MD_AggregationInformation object with MD_InitiativeTypeCode=project. As an alternative this attribute could be treated as a keyword with MD_KeywordTypeCode=project (19115-2012). ISO keywords are associated with shared vocabularies (thesauri). If the project keywords come from a shared vocabularies, like the CF_Standard_Names, this convention would be a significant step towards increased interoperability. The NASA Global Change Master Directory has an existing shared vocabulary for dataCenters.

15. netcdf/attribute/@name=publisher/@value This attribute provides information about the publisher of the dataset. Initially this information was translated into a CI_ResponsibleParty with CI_RoleCode = publisher. As an alternative this attribute could be treated as a keyword with MD_KeywordTypeCode = dataCenter (19115-2012). ISO keywords are associated with shared vocabularies (thesauri). If the dataCenter keywords come from a shared vocabularies, like the CF_Standard_Names, this convention would be a significant step towards increased interoperability.

18. Improvement Plan 1.Improve standard (add new keyword types) 2.Create and encourage adoption of shared vocabularies for discovery 3.Improve translation from NcML to ISO 4.Integrate ncISO into TDS 5.Create good xsl stylesheets for documentation display 6.Encourage existing and new data providers to support data discovery conventions 7.Find partners for further improvement in NcML and ISO

20. Positive deviance says that if you want to create change, you must scale it down to the lowest level of granularity and look for people within the social system who are already manifesting the desired future state. Take only the arrows that are already pointing toward the way you want to go, and ignore the others. Identify and differentiate those people who are headed in the right direction. Give them visibility and resources. Bring them together. Aggregate them. Barbara Waugh Leadership Model: Positive Deviance
