Show moreThe Earth System Curator is a National Science Foundation sponsored project developing a metadata formalism for describing the digital resources used in climate simulations. The end goal of the project is a convergence of models and data where output datasets are tightly linked with metadata about the models used to generate the data. This talk covers the vision of the Curator project and the technical challenges we have overcome to achieve it. Show less
