Definitions of Terms

Document Types


  • Standard - specification approved by a recognized standards body such as Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF®)
  • Convention - specification in common use among some members of the NASA ESDS community
    • In practice, Standard and Convention are often used interchangeably.
  • Suggested Practice - guidance on how to apply a particular standard or convention within the NASA ESDS community
  • Lessons Learned - document describing the use of software, protocols or processes that may be helpful to others
  • Technical Note - other technical document of interest to the community
  • Administrative Document - used to manage the standards process.

Resource Types


  • Software - library or toolkit available for use
  • Specification - document describing a format or protocol in sufficient detail that it can be independently implemented in software
  • Process - steps that can be followed to reach a desired result
  • Technical Note - other technical document of interest to the community

Technology Area

  • Data Format
  • Metadata
  • Discovery and Access
  • Process

Review Status

Defines current position in the standards review process:

  • Legacy - formal review has been bypassed for a legacy standard in common usage
  • Monitoring - up and coming technology to watch, not yet described in an RFC
  • In development - document is being written
  • Submitted - document has been submitted for evaluation
  • In review - community comment and ESO evaluation in progress
  • Final - published document

Recommendation


  • Approved - recommended for use in NASA Earth science data systems
  • Emerging - promising technology, not rigorously reviewed or widely adopted yet
  • Limited / Restricted - approved for use only in certain circumstances
  • Deprecated - don't choose for new projects
  • Obsoleted - no longer in use
  • Proposed / In Process - placeholder until recommendation is made
