No. of Instruments |

Coding Schema |
- 2-letter codes
- Includes UNSPECIFIED
- The BODC code list put up as a candidate
has many faults and is in the process of being replaced by the SeaDataNet
L05 vocabulary, partly published but still very
much under development and strongly influenced by the
MMI devices ontology project. [R. Lowry]
|
- Almost completely concerned with satellite sensors
- 8-letter codes in many cases
- In other cases, the code is lacking and the full name of the sensor
is the code

- NOTE: The GRIB and BUFR instrument codes (See PARAMETERS)
are probably also relevant here, but not central until the ocean and
meteorological communities reach general agreements on parameters in general.

; The MMI Sensors list cited (can be found in browser-readable form at
http://www.mygrid.org.uk/OWL/Presentation?url=http://marinemetadata.org/2005/08/mmi-sensors)
is not a maintained document; it resulted from a workshop and is not an
ongoing activity. The ongoing activity is an MMI ontology for devices;
see http://marinemetadata.org/ontdev for details. It is in the early stages.
