PRODTREES

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the project is to extend the current CF‑netCDF standard with descriptive metadata compliant with state‑of‑the‑art ontologies, develop and extend supporting libraries and tools, and demonstrate the outcome in a semantically-enabled EO products search platform:

1) netCDF / CF-netCDF: data model for scientific data, collection of libraries and a machine-independent format. Supports the encoding of geospatial data. Climate and Forecast (CF) is a set of conventions for describing what the data in each variable represents (incl. spatial and temporal properties).
2) Descriptive Metadata such as validity time ranges, origins, generation algorithms and processing chains, accuracy and uncertainty, will be used to annotate CF-netCDF records.
3) State-of-the-Art Ontologies will be analyzed and will constitute the basis for defining the descriptive data. Mappings will be created between the ontologies (GSCDA, GCMD, GEMET, GEOSS) and the extended vocabulary.
4) Pre-existing Supporting Software will be extended to support the extensions.
5) A Technology Demonstrator will be used to demonstrate the extended features

A forum is available for any registered user to discuss on the subject.

EXPECTED RESULTS

The following results are expected from the Prod-Trees project:
1) Specification of a new EO-netCDF convention.
2) Enhanced popular software tools and libraries for supporting the EO convention and data format.
3) Requirements analysis going beyond the scope of the project (e.g. interest in in-situ products).
4) Proposed contributions to the netCDF specification and to the CF convention.
5) Prototype demonstrator built with new and re-used components from the RARE platform.
6) Outcome of the project analyzed and commented by a group of experts and experienced users.

Search Help

Non Advanced Search or Natural Search

The documents are returned sorted on relevance depending on order, proximity, frequency of terms.

Advanced Search or Boolean Search

Default search behavior

By default, all search terms are optional. It behaves like an OR logic. Objects that contain the more terms are rated higher in the results and will appear first in their type. For example, wiki forum will find:

objects that include both terms
objects that include the term wiki
objects that include the term forum

Requiring terms

Add a plus sign ( + ) before a term to indicate that the term must appear in results. Example: +wiki forum will find objects containing at least wiki. Objects with both terms and many occurences of the terms will appear first.

Excluding terms

Add a minus sign ( - ) before a term to indicate that the term must not appear in the results. To reduce a term's value without completely excluding it, use a tilde. Example: -wiki forum will find objects that do not contain wiki but contain forum

Grouping terms

Use parenthesis ( ) to group terms into subexpressions. Example: +wiki +(forum blog) will find objects that contain wiki and forum or that contain wiki and blog in any order.

Finding phrases

Use double quotes ( " " ) around a phrase to find terms in the exact order, exactly as typed. Example: "Alex Bell" will not find Bell Alex or Alex G. Bell.

Using wildcards

Add an asterisk ( * ) after a term to find objects that include the root word. For example, run* will find:

objects that include the term run
objects that include the term runner
objects that include the term running

Reducing a term's value

Add a tilde ( ~ ) before a term to reduce its value indicate to the ranking of the results. Objects that contain the term will appear lower than other objects (unlike the minus sign which will completely exclude a term). Example: +wiki ~forum will rate an object with only wiki higher that an object with wiki and forum.

Changing relevance value

Add a less than ( < ) or greater than ( > ) sign before a term to change the term's contribution to the overall relevance value assigned to a object. Example: +wiki +(>forum < blog) will find objects that contain wiki and forum or wiki and blog in any order. wiki forum will be rated higher.
