This presentation provides an overview and discussion of the FAA Data Registry. This includes a demonstration of the registry and a discussion on the data standardization and approval (i.e. configuration control board) process the FAA has developed. The presentation also covers how the data registry fits into the overall data management program that the FAA is implementing.
Lunch
Richard (Rick) Jordan
Federal Aviation Administration
The
presentation will describe recent FAA data standardization experience including
international standardization of aircraft identification data and internal data
standardization activities. It will also
address the use of the FAA's Data Registry and data architecture in the data
standardization process.

NASA, with its vast data resources across its centers, is
in need of an enterprise information architecture that enables data integration
and exchange services at institutional and agency levels. Interoperable
metadata registries and data exchange services are required to support this
highly sophisticated integration. This presentation will provide an overview of
existing registry models and their potential for use in the space science
domain, identify their potential for supporting semantic interoperability, and
identify specific alignments with ISO/IEC 11179 and OASIS registry models.

The Planetary Data System (PDS) has a peer reviewed science data archive
collected from over 30 years of solar system exploration. In accordance with a
1982 National Research Council recommendation for discipline data systems, the
archive remains geographically distributed to keep the data in the hands of the
scientific experts and to promote closer ties with the mission instrument
teams. However the distribution of archive data on CD/DVD physical media can no
longer be cost-justified given the much larger volumes of data being produced
by new missions. This necessitates the development of an on-line distributed
search and retrieval system. The first delivery of this system will use ISO/IEC
11179 based metadata descriptors, XML documents, and the wealth of metadata in
the archive to locate data sets and supporting resources across the discipline
nodes of the PDS. Subsequent releases of the system will allow the global
search and retrieval of individual data products from the hundreds of
distributed data registries and repositories in the archive.

The Enterprise Data Architecture task at JPL is developing an integrated information architecture to enable JPL to meet
its strategic goals. It promises to provide institutional data management
services that promote interoperability between distributed data resources and
leverage existing institutional services and enterprise applications. The goal
is to enable not only data management, but information and knowledge
management. A key component of this architecture is the metadata service. The
purpose of the metadata service is to provide a series of registries that allow
for the management of enterprise data dictionaries, data elements, and system
resource descriptions. The metadata service makes extensive use of the ISO/IEC
11179 specifications. Special emphasis has been given to providing semantic
interoperability through the concept of an enterprise data element registry.

Integration and Re-Use
Jim U’Ren

An ISO/IEC 11179 metadata registry might be considered a
“directory” accessible using LDAP. This presentation describes an
effort to prepare a standard for this and to demonstrate its functionality for
the space science community. This presentation also describes the application
of 11179 and other registries by the STEP & PDES community in the
manufacturing domain.

Wide-area distributed computing, or "grid" technologies, provide the foundation to a number of large-scale efforts utilizing the global Internet to build distributed computing and communications infrastructures. As common Grid services and interoperable components emerge, the difficulty in undertaking these large-scale efforts will be greatly reduced and, as importantly, the resulting systems will better support interoperation.
GGF efforts are
aimed at the development of a broadly based Integrated Grid Architecture that
can serve to guide the research, development, and deployment activities of the
emerging Grid communities. Defining such an architecture will advance the Grid
agenda through the broad deployment and adoption of fundamental basic services
and by sharing code among different applications with common requirements.
