Federating federation registries

[pbuttigieg]

Their federation of seismic observation sites (the IRIS consortium makes sites findable via unified metadata and exchange standards.

This echoes our needs and resonates with our current activities to register omic observatories centrally to allow discovery of their resources.

Coordination of site registry metadata with other partners (@rduerr I'm thinking Earth Cube) may align us early so our registries can interoperate.

In discussions at EGU 2019, @edu-iris notes that their SiteML is quite community-specific and we may need a metamodel.

@cmungall I'm thinking that each community could spin up a lightweight ontology which links their sites (instances) to the phenomena they measure (e.g. seismic events from ENVO, microbial communities from PCO, etc). Merging those ontologies would allow cross domain search.

I think we probably need a bit more of a discussion about what a “site” is as I am quite sure the instances of data in the EarthCube registry are quite different from Iris’ and from much of the OBO foundry content. However, in principle I am all for trying to make all of these things play nicely and I do note that there are some Earthcube precuts that are already working with you and ENVO to help this all along. How to make this all happen however, is something that might be challenging! Ruth
