Title: Granules Are Forever
Speaker:Dr. Ted Habermann Speaker's Bio: Dr. Ted Habermann works at NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) in Boulder Colorado on a number of interoperability projects and international documentation standards. His group at NGDC developed and managed the NOAA Metadata Manager and Repository (NMMR) that included metadata for several thousand datasets produced and stewarded by NESDIS and the NOAA Data Centers. These records are provided in multiple standards (FGDC, DIF, NcML, THREDDS, and ISO) and views (FAQ, Text, HTML). More recently, Ted has focused on the challenges associated with evolution of organizational documentation systems and processes. Ted was a principle author on the recently approved NOAA Documentation Directive and participated in the Metadata Evolution for NASA Data Systems (MENDS) Project. Ted and his group have been active in the creation and sharing of ISO metadata for NESDIS, the NOAA Office of Climate Observations, the NOAA Observing System Architecture (NOSA), the GOES-R Project, the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), the Group for High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST), Data.gov, and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). This work has included translating several thousand metadata records from FGDC to ISO using several approaches, developing and sharing of ISO best practices, and participation in developing and implementing revisions to the ISO Standards. Recently Ted and his group have worked closely with NOAA's Unified Access Framework, Unidata and OPeNDAP to add ISO metadata capabilities to THREDDS and Hyrax Servers using a tool called ncISO. Ted is also working with the NASA Earth Science Data and Information System to help facilitate the adoption the ISO Standards in that group. His vision is interoperable documentation for earth science datasets from many disciplines and locations.NASA and The HDF Group will host the HDF and HDF-EOS Workshop XV in Riverdale, MD on April 17-19, 2012.
This year's workshop is being hosted in Riverdale, MD at the Raytheon EOSDIS Evolution and Development facility. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with developers and maintainers of HDF. The theme of the Workshop is "Embracing New Missions - Integrating Data Across Generations."
The goal of this workshop is to provide a venue for vendors, tool developers, NASA, NOAA, and other HDF and HDF-EOS Earth science users to address the critically important issues of interoperability and integration of data across new and existing missions. Vendors and tool developers will have opportunities to demonstrate their tools and to learn about users' needs. Participants are encouraged to share ideas, experiences, and concerns regarding data interoperability and integration.
Please join us for this opportunity to identify issues, to work on solutions, and to discover better ways to access HDF and HDF-EOS data. The workshop will:
Suggestions for topics that you'd like to see on the agenda can also be contributed and are welcomed.
The workshop will provide for three types of presentations:
