SPDML being presented at CEDAR 2003 Workshop.
06/18/03 On June 18, SPDML was presented to the CEDAR community at the 2003 CEDAR workshop during the "Data Management and Visualization" Poster session. The abstract is as follows: Web-Based Space Physics Metadata Searching Using Space Physics Data Markup Language Michele Weiss, JHU/APL, Daniel Morrison, JHU/APL, Larry Paxton, JHU/APL, Robin Barnes, JHU/APL FirstName.LastName@jhuapl.edu We are developing the Space Physics Data Markup Language (SPDML) using eXtensible Markup Language (XML) to provide a standard method for expressing Space Physics data sets. SPDML is being used to prototype a standard method of remote data querying in a distributed data system enabling multi- instrument comparisons. As a testbed, we are initially using data from the NASA TIMED spacecraft and ground-based SuperDARN radars. This poster presents how SPDML will be used to describe the structure, semantics and content of any space physics data set in any data format. This allows the construction of metadata from existing data sets in both standard (NetCDF, CDF, etc) formats and mission specific formats to be processed. Commercial off-the-shelf search engines can then be used to discover and access multiple distributed scientific resources, providing easy cataloging and retrieval of Space Physics data as well as providing multi-instrument comparison to TIMED data. <- Return to News List |
