Summary and Purpose
The purpose of this effort is to determine how the tags associated with codes can be published and displayed in the WMO Codes Registry.
Proposal
[your specific proposal to resolve the issue - update when decision on proposal is finalized]
The Task Team on WIGOS Metadata is looking at introducing the use of 'tags' in the WMDR repository to represent super categories that different variables can be associated with. I *believe that these super categories will also be maintained in other WMDR code list tables so they should be referenceable. I'd like to get your first thoughts on how these can be represented in the Codes Registry. I know that SKOS/RDF can easily include triples with this type of information, but what will it require to add to the registry? And even better, can the registry display these "tags" as links? ~ Anna
The registry is very flexible with this kind of labelling / tagging, I think the pattern you are describing should be able to be supported.
given my interpretation of the intent, I would expect that a vocabulary of tags would be created, then any entity could link to that tag as a statement. These would be presented as resolvable links.
The fine details of representing this in CSV, managing the parsing and conversion, and choosing the vocabulary that we would use to make the 'tag' statement would need a little analysis, but this does not sound especially difficult to me
I am happy to help with work with other contributors on a branch investigating this and on the test registry to explore and review presentation. ~ Mark
