The Metafor project is developing a Common Information Model (CIM) to describe climate data and the models that produce it in a standard way. In particular, Metafor is leading an international effort to develop controlled vocabulary and metadata collection procedures in support of the next climate model intercomparison project CMIP5 (see online questionnaire at http://q.cmip5.ceda.ac.uk). The core information model Metafor has developed is nevertheless very generic and can be applied to other modelling fields. This re-usability of the metadata development and tools is a high-level commitment of the Metafor development and will be at the core of this workshop.
This workshop is aimed at climate modellers and end users of climate data but also welcomes metadata experts.
