<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As part of the NETMAR faceted discovery we wish to include a set of keywords that correspond to the ISO19115 ‘Discipline’ keyword type that are available with mappings to fine-grained parameter descriptions. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are two candidate lists:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>SeaDataNet Parameter Disciplines [<a href="http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/current/P081">http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/current/P081</a>]</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 144pt; text-indent: -144pt; ">Administration and dimension Parameters related to spatial and temporal co-ordinates, entity referencing (eg record numbering and keys) and access control"</div>
<div>Atmosphere The atmospheric sciences domain</div>
<div>Biological oceanography The biological oceanographic science domain</div>
<div>Chemical oceanography The chemical oceanographic science domain</div>
<div>Cross-discipline No specific association with an identified domain</div>
<div>Cryosphere The cryosphere science domain, including ice on both land and sea</div>
<div>Environment The domain documenting the activities of man that have an effect on the Earth System.</div>
<div>Fisheries and aquaculture The science domain concerned with aquatic life taken from the wild or farmed for human</div>
<div style="padding-left: 108pt; text-indent: 36pt; "> consumption</div>
<div>Marine geology The marine geological science domain</div>
<div>Physical oceanography The physical oceanographic science domain</div>
<div>Terrestrial The terrestrial science domain</div>
<div> </div>
<div>MEDIN Parameter Discipline Keywords [<a href="http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/current/P231">http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/current/P231</a>]</div>
<div> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Administration, boundaries, dimensions and entity referencing Parameters related to spatial and temporal coordinates (e.g. protected sites, administrative divisions), entity referencing (e.g. gazetteer)
and access control"</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Anthropogenic Properties Parameters describing the abundance, nature and impact of material or energy added to the environment by the activities of man (e.g. contaminants, dredge material dumping,
litter, noise)"</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Bathymetry and Seafloor topography The topic which collates information on the depth and topography of the sea floor that may be used for navigation or understanding scientific processes (e.g. water
depth, seafloor topography, bathymetry)."</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Cryosphere Physical or chemical properties of snow and ice on the earths surface, (e.g. sea ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets).</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Cultural, Heritage and Marine Archaeology Data on seabed and subsurface cultural and heritage objects (e.g. historically relevant ships, jetties, objects). Includes historic landscape information.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Fisheries and Aquaculture The topic concerned with aquatic life taken from the wild or farmed for human consumption and the facilities required to harvest those aquatic life. (e.g. cod fisheries,
salmon farming, cockle picking)</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Marine Biodiversity The extent and composition of species and habitats and the ecological processes that support them. (e.g. productivity, phytoplankton abundance, alien species, biological reef extent)</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Marine Chemistry Chemical features of the seas (eg, nutrients, carbon, dissolved gases, metals, organic compounds)"</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Marine Geology Composition and structure of geological features on or below the seabed or associated with the coast (e.g. sediment, magnetics, gravity, geomorphology)"</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Meteorology and Atmospheric Conditions Physical, chemical and weather characteristics of the atmosphere (e.g. wind speed, evaporation, humidity, pCO2).</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Physical Oceanography Physical features of the seas (eg, tides, waves, salinity, temperature, suspended particulate material, optical measurements)</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Socio-economic and Infrastructure The use and location of buildings, ships, monitoring platforms or other structures that are manmade (e.g. platforms, wind farms, cables, transportation, coastal
defence structures, barrages, piers). Information may be economic based.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; "> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Does anybody have any input as to which set would be better suited to NETMAR?</div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; "> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 324pt; text-indent: -324pt; ">Cheers, Roy.</div>
