February action items
1) ESIP summer meeting (July 9 – 12)
· Ted has already submitted 5 session for HDF workshop/tutorial (NASA)
· Currently Ted is the lead on all of these sessions, but other people will take them over as they get registered
· Topics include
· aggregation (across HDF files – how certain groups are doing this)
· using NASA data – tutorial with someone from Matlab and possibly ESRI (though this conflicts with the ESRI conference)
· Town Hall – new things at HDF and get ideas for directions
· Cool Tools – things venders are doing with NASA data (specifically HDF)
· These are not linked to documentation and are not directly related
· Will have separate sessions – continuation of CF unleashed and something about conventions
· (Ed) HDF5 conventions – includes CF and other is due by the fall – should we invite that group
· ACDD (attribute conventions for data discovery) governance group
· Looking for home for conventions – a group with responsibility for convesions and distribution of conventions
· Question of joining ACDD and CF - possibly
· Ted (personally) – does not think it is a good idea – OGC would be a better choice
· ? is this because CF isn’t easy to change – YES, also there is a lot of baggage with CF
· Such as problems with groups and objects
· ? is the conflict group/objects – how implement
· CF does not do groups
· OGC has done tones to get NetCDF and CF in OGC – want to build on that work
· OGC – broader audience and group
· They need help I metadata (ex. for their services)
· Such as help with NetCDF and wms, and wcs, etc. (lots of possibilities)
· There is also a ESDIS metadata session by Katie
ACTION – Ted will contact Katie about including documentation and metadata architecture
