Description

The ARM Metadata Team has worked on several key components of metadata management in order to enhance data discovery, web site navigation and user experience, and data tool usage for the diverse community of ARM users. This presentation describes a number of significant activities that were completed since last year’s ARM/ASR Joint User Facility PI Meeting. The impact of these accomplishments will be discussed, as well. Among the tasks completed were: (1) Migration from Sybase to PostGres, (2) Modification of metadata workflows and metadata tools, (3) Changes in primary measurement types, and (4) More extensive use of broader instrument classes.
