1. Use common terms within Data, Metadata and supporting information ( Energy Data Task Force)
“There are currently efforts to standardise the naming conventions used across a range of infrastructure domains by the Digital Framework Task Group as part of the National Digital Twin programme of work. The long term goal is to define an ontology which enables different sectors to use a common language which in turn enables effective cross sector data sharing.
In the near term, it is unhelpful to create yet another glossary so we propose a two staged approach.”
Hey Steven, good to hear from you! This is a good point from the EDTF, the section under your quote says:
-
Organisations label data with keywords and the authoritative source of their definition e.g. Term [Glossary Reference]
This is exactly what our Glossary is doing, hence the shared status and the related meta data. This is not about creating a new ‘master’ glossary, our aim is to help the convergence of language in this space. They set out the problem statement well, there are many existing glossaries and there is a need to connect them!
On the DAFNI front, we are working in collaboration with them. Also, there can never be a single initiative. We need that competitive edge to drive innovation! I’ll soon be releasing an article on the hub about the history of the internet. There were a number of competing internet protocols HTML and FTP for example.
My urge is for members to contribute in linking these through the platform.
