It is funded by the UK Research and Innovation Natural Environment Research Council (UKRI-NERC) as part of its Environmental Data Services (EDS) national capabilities, with additional funding from European projects. Standardised controlled vocabularies are used by data creators, data managers, and tool developers for indexing, annotating, and searching for data, enabling greater interoperability and reuse.

declare granularity through use of core entity + number of records. NetCDF is example of complex data information that should be decomposed. Conversely OGC is already decomposed, and data model must be reconstituted to understand

Unknown

DID (Decentralized Identifiers) with keeping ownership of data

Assign decentralized identifiers and share keys with data owner. Can be used for sensitive data to make identifiers "invisible" for people without authorization.

Disagree that there are no standards. we have dcat, dublin core, data cite, schema.org and ROCrates. crosswalks between them are simple. It is all about using them, or picking one. just like the big techs picked schema.org.
