Finding coincident data from satellites: using "meta-metadata" to reduce load on archive
Terri Willard, J. H. Berbert · 2003
In this paper, the concept of "meta-metadata" is introduced as an abstraction of metadata as metadata is an abstraction of the data. The problem of finding coincident data from satellites is examined using metadata and meta-metadata. The meta-metadata approach is shown to be more generally applicable and supports a more heterogeneous system. Finally, the implementation of a prototype system for performing coincidence search is described.
