The OPTIMISE workshop “Ecosystem specific metadata definition” has as goal to define a set of (mandatory) metadata for spectral point data collections (such as a spectrometer on a flux tower) that characterise the ecosystem, aligned with current international efforts in the spectroscopy community.
Preliminary Program
Day 1
Part 1: Establishing the Background (12’ + 3’ discussion)
– Andy Hueni: General introduction – The contextual awareness – Metadata in General
– Martin Schlerf: Agriculture Focus talk
– Lola Suarez: plant physiology focus talk
– Eugenie Paul-Limoges: environmental conditions in relation to plant fluorescence (plant stress)
– Sebastian Wolf: gas exchange and plants
– Kaniska Malik: evapotranspiration aspects
– Fabian Schneider: landscape and target structure and diversity measurements
– Zbynek Malenovsky: upscaling leaf to ecosystem: the physical upscaling of the spectral signal and thoughts on the upscaling of metadata
– Shari Wittenberghe: Temporal dynamics of plant response (pigment pools et al) and impacts on metadata
Part 2: Breakout groups
- Plant physiology (at the plant/target level)
- Environmental Conditions (moisture, wind, humidity, temperature)
- Ecosystem Level (the target and its surroundings, i.e. the bigger picture)
- Temporal Dynamics
Part 3: Discussion and first conclusions of the breakout groups
- Scales: plant to Ecosystem level
- Metadata per topic
