[Medin_dacwg] MEDIN DAC WG meeting 20th Nov 13:30-17:00

Fri Oct 26 10:40:20 BST 2018

Dear MEDIN DAC Working Group,

A reminder that the DAC Working Group meeting is 20th November 13:30-17:00
Location: Historic Environment Scotland, John Sinclair House, 16 Bernard Terrace, Edinburgh, EH8 9NX

If you haven't already confirmed your attendance, please can you do so by emailing Clare (cfpo at bodc.ac.uk<mailto:cfpo at bodc.ac.uk>) - I don't think we have confirmed attendance yet for Met Office or AFBI.

Some preparatory work:

·         Web pages - At the last meeting we agreed that each DAC would check the text for their DAC on the MEDIN website to ensure everything is up to date.

o   http://www.medin.org.uk/medin/about/data-archive-centres

o   http://www.medin.org.uk/data/submit-data

·         Metadata QC for Portal - DACs to come to the meeting with status of their metadata corrections. Peter Thijsse (MARIS) will be phoning in.

·         Thinking around the archive of data that have already been published - we will discuss this at the meeting.

o   At the last meeting James Ayliffe asked a question about MSS Scottish Coastal Lab data (which includes water column data)

§  They are published on the MSS portal, have a MEDIN metadata record and may have a DOI

§  BODC receives the water column data for ingestion - should BODC ingest these data (and push them into wider portals such as SeaDataNet), even though they are already published via MSS?

·         Actions from last meeting - Please update on progress, see action list below.

Many thanks,
Robin

New actions from DAC WG meeting 25th April 2018
Action

Progress

8.1

Louisa Matthews to circulate a copy of the photogrammetry interface report to the DACs, as they may be interested in the solution for high volume data types.

Done

8.2

Louisa Matthews to send Dan Lear the ADS wiki process for streaming video files.

Done

8.3

Clare Postlethwaite to feedback to MEDIN Executive that opening the codefest out to a wider audience is not possible with the available budget, but there would be benefit in holding an internal one to share expertise.

Done

8.4

Clare Postlethwaite to clarify what needs to be done to prepare UKDMOS data for hackathon use and to find out what would be useful for users.

8.5

Charlotte Miskin-Hymas to work with DL, JR, GE and MARIS and coordinate the MEDIN hackathon, to happen in Q3 alongside the mega meeting.

8.6

Charlotte Miskin-Hymas to contact Peter McKeague for interesting shipwreck images for the website.

8.7

Charlotte Miskin-Hymas to send link to website to DACs and DACs to feedback comments on the text for their DAC pages.

8.8

Robin McCandliss to include checking DAC webpages as a standing item on the DAC agenda to ensure the text is up to date and remind DACs to check before the DAC meetings.

Done

8.9

Clare Postlethwaite to organise a meeting to discuss archiving MCZ data at the MEDIN DACs for 2018-19. Including Cefas, BGS, DASSH, and possibly UKHO and JNCC.

8.10

Gaynor Evans to reiterate with MARIS the need to fix the bugs and to provide a prioritised list.

8.11

Gaynor Evans to circulate the metadata validation errors for each provider to the DACs

8.12

Gaynor Evans to check whether UUIDs have changed and report back at next DAC WG meeting.

Actions outstanding from earlier DAC WG meetings

7.2

Amended action: DASSH and MSS to check their status for INSPIRE compliance is portrayed correctly in the INSPIRE table and report back to RM.

Closed - Table updated for annual report

7.5

Charlotte Miskin-Hymas to include recent DAC reaccreditations in MDN.

Done

7.9

Louisa Matthews to discuss OASIS metadata validation issue with Gaynor Evans and Peter Thijsse

Ongoing: Remapping is needed to MEDIN metadata schema. Issue with getting developer resource and is not likely to happen soon.

7.11

Jens Rasmussen to validate metadata records using both Metadata Maestro and MARIS tool and report back to DAC WG at teleconference in early 2018.

Ongoing: Jens re-exported and validated 180 xml records through the Maestro, however all records failed validation in the MARIS tool. Bugs in the MARIS tool are the likely cause.

6.1

Clare Postlethwaite to ensure UKDMOS/MEDIN document is made available on MEDIN website once finalised.

Ongoing

6.6

Mary Mowat to consult with UKHO about where resource locators in the MEDIN catalogue should point to for data that are held both at BGS and UKHO.

Ongoing. Checking backscatter data going into UKHO records and Mary to follow up outside the meeting.

6.13

Mary Mowat and Chelsea Bradbury to liaise to identify data sets that are present via TCE and BGS and ensure that it does not appear in MEDIN catalogue twice.

Ongoing. Mary has provided a list of the data held by BGS but TCE still need to carry out a review of data that they already hold. Hopefully this should be done in the next three months.

5.1

Amended action: Clare Postlethwaite to a) liaise with Data Task Group to finalise MSFD indicator assessment metadata template, which will require a link to a MEDIN metadata record and a DOI for each dataset used in the assessment; b) set realistic expectations for data archive at the DACs to minimise the risk that following the monitoring programmes update, the DACs will be expected to archive the data with little notice.

Ongoing: The Data Task group have drafted a metadata template for MSFD which includes fields to link to MEDIN catalogue and to DOI's where data is archived.

2.18

Clare Postlethwaite to speak to JNCC about possibility of them becoming a Bird DAC.

Ongoing. Will be revisited this financial year as part of work plan.
