Part III. Appendix 1: Metadata and Data DiscoveryArchiveIOOS will encourage data providers to archive data at an approved national data archive center.A data provider may choose to archive data for a number of reasons. One is to provide a backupfor data at risk at the data provider’s storage site. Risks might be fire, hurricane, or lack of climatecontrols. Using an archive as a backup site requires the data provider to keep the metadata at thearchive up to date as changes are made.In addition, a data provider should archive data for posterity. The archive facility then takes responsibilityfor any metadata updates (usually due to changes in media storage, data access, or contactinformation).124
Part III. Appendix 1: Metadata and Data DiscoveryData DiscoveryINTRODUCTIONData discovery in IOOS will include a way for users to search for specific data sets and to browsethe data holdings. It will also include the capability for automated agents to search for data. It willbegin with a capability to search metadata to find the data that are desired, and, in the future, willallow for the refinement of that search to include some types of actual data searches. Since IOOSneeds to include both the research and operational communities, the amount of understanding ofthe actual data will be very diverse within the user communities. Users of IOOS will include thosewho are familiar with the types of data and those who are working on interdisciplinary projectswho are less familiar with the data. In addition, there will be a number of users who will not necessarilyhave any in-depth understanding of the data, such as programmers or decision-makers.Many studies have shown that information retrieval systems that combine controlled vocabularysearching with free-text (or natural language) yield the best performance 3 . One example is from theGlobal Change Master Directory (GCMD) where the successful retrieval of documents dependson well-structured metadata and comprehensive indexing of records with keywords from the controlledvocabulary, combined with well-populated text fields to enhance free-text searching.Controlled vocabulary and free-text searches are two independent but complementary informationretrieval systems. Searches conducted using the controlled vocabulary match the chosen word inthe metadata record using a direct search of the database. Results can be refined by adding anotherscience parameter, by combining with other controlled keywords, or by adding a free-text componentto the search.Searches by free-text can be made by entering single or multiple words (for phrase searching) andsimple Boolean logic (AND/OR) for words of phrases occurring anywhere in the text.The language used in the metadata needs to be understood by interdisciplinary users. Keywords/thesauri should be carefully created to use commonly used terms and definitions, and to incorporatenew terminology. Both users and programmers need to be able to understand the metadataand find information needed using consistent terminology. For IOOS to be successful, users andprogrammers need to be assured that the metadata they find during data discovery is up to date,consistent, and understandable.3Rowley, J. 1994. The controlled versus natural indexing language debate revisited: A perspective on information retrieval practiceand research. J. Information Sci., 20(2). pp. 108–119.125
