Goals at a Glance

• Community model metadata: With various community partners, develop standardized model component metadata
• Gateway implementation: Develop software and collaborations that will enable model metadata to be harvested and used by science gateways.
• Connect model components with datasets: Within scientific gateways, enable users to transit between model components, their datasets, and back again.

Impact

Component model metadata that exists within a science gateway can make it easier for scientists to perform modeling experiments, and to coordinate with each other on efforts such as Model Intercomparison Projects (MIPs) of which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment (AR5) is a major example.
