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.
