thinking (as you’ll see from D3.4 when it’s circulated) is to make the
disciplines top concepts in a thesaurus populated with a hierarchy of theme
plus discipline concepts. If we took the concatenation of both complete
lists as our top concepts then we would end up with duplicates such as ‘Cryosphere’.

How about using both, ideally with mappings between disciplines from both
sides? I believe that, given the small size of the lists, we can do that.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Dear
All,<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
There are two candidate lists:<br>
<br>
SeaDataNet Parameter Disciplines [<a
href="http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/current/P081">http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/current/P081</a>]<br>
<br>
Administration and dimension Parameters related to spatial
and temporal co-ordinates, entity referencing (eg record numbering and keys)
and access control"<br>
Atmosphere
The
atmospheric sciences domain<br>
Biological oceanography The biological oceanographic science domain<br>
Chemical oceanography The chemical oceanographic science domain<br>
Cross-discipline
No
specific association with an identified domain<br>
Cryosphere
The
cryosphere science domain, including ice on both land and sea<br>
Environment
The
domain documenting the activities of man that have an effect on the Earth
System.<br>
Fisheries and aquaculture The science
domain concerned with aquatic life taken from the wild or farmed for human<br>
consumption<br>
Marine geology The marine
geological science domain<br>
Physical oceanography The
physical oceanographic science domain<br>
Terrestrial
The
terrestrial science domain<br>
<br>
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>]<br>
<br>
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"<br>
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)"<br>
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)."<br>
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).<br>
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.<br>
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)<br>
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)<br>
Marine Chemistry Chemical features of
the seas (eg, nutrients, carbon, dissolved gases, metals, organic
compounds)"<br>
Marine Geology Composition and structure of geological features on or
below the seabed or associated with the coast (e.g. sediment, magnetics,
gravity, geomorphology)"<br>
Meteorology and Atmospheric Conditions Physical, chemical and weather
characteristics of the atmosphere (e.g. wind speed, evaporation, humidity,
pCO2).<br>
Physical Oceanography Physical features of the seas (eg, tides,
waves, salinity, temperature, suspended particulate material, optical
measurements)<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Does anybody have any input as to which set would be better suited to NETMAR?<br>
<br>
Cheers, Roy.<br>
