Discovery metadata facilitate data discovery, access and retrieval. They are WMO Information System (WIS) metadata and are specified and handled as part of WIS. Interpretation/description or observational metadata enable data values to be interpreted in context. They constitute WIGOS metadata and are the subject of this WIGOS standard describing the interpretation metadata required for the effective utilization of observations from all WIGOS component observing systems by all users.The WIGOS metadata should describe the observed vari.....
