AQ Facets

The AQ uFIND is driven by extracting 'machine tags' from harvested ISO 19115 documents.

The facets are:

• Dataset
• Parameter
• Instrument
• Platform
• Domain
• Topic Category
• Temporal Resolution
• Vertical
• DataType
• Data Distributor
• Data Originator

The unique, atomic intity for uFIND is dataset.parameter combination (Airnow. Ozone).

The AQ community is developing a convention to add facets to WMSGetCapabilities documents (see example) as machine tags in the keywords for each layer.

Using the WMS -> ISO editor, we've developed a provider can submit WMS layers with or without these keywords and add them as part of the registration process.

To see a description of each facet see the facet keyword.
