About the ACCESS-NRI COSIMA 2025 training program

Hi @lidefi87

@lidefi87

Hi there! I was hoping to make a suggestion for the training program: metadata, what and how to record it, and any established conventions/guidelines that we should be following. I find that metadata records are not consistent across models, so I’m still trying to figure out what is good practice.

I’ve been going through ARDC docs on this topic: Data Provenance | Australian Research Data Commons | ARDC, but there is a lot of information and it’d be nice to have a crash course about this.

The reason for my suggestion is because I am producing a large number of files after running a marine ecosystem model and ideally I would like to include information that make it easier of potential users to understand these outputs.

Thanks very much for your suggested topic! That is indeed a tricky space to navigate and I don’t think anyone in the ocean team would be able to present on as such. Relatedly, I’m not sure this training program is the right place for this kind of training… Of course, anyone from the community is welcome to present what they think will be of interest but from what you’ve written it sounds like it might appeal to a broader audience?

I’m pinging @paigem @rbeucher @CharlesTurner @ClareCR and @kdruken as they might have some pointers or an interest in this kind of training for the upcoming annual workshop. Feel free to cast a vote here too.
