The Earth System Curator is a National Science Foundation sponsored project developing a metadata formalism for describing
the digital resources used in climate simulations. The primary motivating observation of the project is that a simulation/model’s
source code plus the configuration parameters required for a model run are a compact representation of the dataset generated
when the model is executed. The end goal of the project is a convergence of models and data where both resources are accessed
uniformly from a single registry. In this paper we review the current metadata landscape of the climate modeling community,
present our work on developing a metadata formalism for describing climate models, and reflect on technical challenges we
have faced that require new research in the area of Earth Science Informatics. |
