ACDD (highly recommended)C3S: A controlled vocabulary will be provided

"IPSL-CM5A-LR model output prepared for CMIP5 RCP4.5"
A short phrase or sentence describing the dataset. In many discovery systems, the title will be displayed in the results list from a search, and therefore should be human readable and reasonable to display in a list of such names
referencesCF: Free text
C3S:

URIs (such as a URL or DOI) for papers or other references. A valid doi is recommended

CF: Free text

"doi:10.5194/gmd-8-1509-2015"

references to more information

Antonio S. Cofino Gonzalez: Published or web-based references that describe the data or methods used to produce it. This attribute is recommended in the CF conventions. Recommend values are URIs (such as a URL or DOI) for papers or other references.
The validity of the doi values will be checked. Warnings will be raised for any other content.content.
sourceA methodology to build this attribute will be provided
  • 'temperature from CTD #1234'; 'world model v.0.1'.
sourceFree text
  • "model-generated, GloSea5-GC2"
  • "IPSL-CM5A-LR (2010) : atmos : LMDZ4 (LMDZ4_v5, 96x95x39); ocean : ORCA2 (NEMOV2_3, 2x2L31); seaIce : LIM2 (NEMOV2_3); ocnBgchem : PISCES (NEMOV2_3); land : ORCHIDEE (orchidee_1_9_4_AR5)"

Where the data is fromAntonio S. Cofino Gonzalez: The method of production of the original data. If it was model-generated, source should name the model and its version. If it is observational, source should characterize it. This attribute is defined in the CF Conventions. Examples: 'temperature from CTD #1234'; 'world model v.0.1'.Francisco Doblas-Reyes I'm still missing information about the initialisation: what set of initial conditions was used, whether perturbations were used, etc Eduardo Penabad: Can you (Francisco Doblas-Reyes) suggest how to do this?

institution

CF: Free text

C3S: A controlled vocabulary will be provided

"Met Office"

Francisco Doblas-Reyes I'm not convinced "Met Office" is descriptive enough. Shouldn't it be something like "C3S"?

Unknown User (brookshaw): "institution" is the origin of the data. Things like C3S will be specified elsewhere (e.g. project)

Who produced the data

Antonio S. Cofino Gonzalez: The name of the institution principally responsible for originating this data.
This attribute is recommended by the CF convention.

contact

CF: Free text

C3S: Copernicus User Support URI should be used
http://copernicus-support.ecmwf.int

 

"http://copernicus-support.ecmwf.int"

Antonio S. Cofino Gonzalez: The CMIP5/SPECS DRS define this attribute. The ACDD defines: creator_name, creator_email, creator_url, publisher_name, publisher_email, publisher_url

project

CF: Free text

C3S: "C3S Seasonal Forecast" is required, additional project info (e.g. ITT details) is optional

"C3S Seasonal Forecast"

Antonio S. Cofino Gonzalez: The name of the project(s) principally responsible for originating this data. Multiple projects can be separated by commas, as described under Attribute Content Guidelines. Examples: 'PATMOS-X', 'Extended Continental Shelf Project'.

creation_date

SPECS: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss<zone>

NOTE: This is ISO 8601:2004 extended format

"2011-06-24T02:53:46Z"

Antonio S. Cofino Gonzalez: The date on which this version of the data was created. (Modification of values implies a new version, hence this would be assigned the date of the most recent values modification.) Metadata changes are not considered when assigning the creation_date. The ISO 8601:2004 extended date format is recommended.  

The ACDD 1.3 names this attribute as date_create
SPECS conventions will be followed
 

commentFree text"This 21th century simulation has been forced by prescribed concentration following the rcp 4.5 scenario."

Antonio S. Cofino Gonzalez: Miscellaneous information about the data, not captured elsewhere. This attribute is defined in the CF Conventions.

"forecast" or "hindcast"

"forecast"To identify the type of data

To record relevant information, such as the command history which led to this file being produced

Francisco Doblas-Reyes I understand that the versioning of the software used to create the data can be included either here or in the commit attribute. Any idea how/when to make the decision?

Antonio S. Cofino Gonzalez: We need a more implementtios examples on this. This could achiived in EQC WP where metadata is been part of their activities (i.e. WP4@QA4SEAS). ISO 19115-2 defines a linage model where this is been considered. TBD.
