MMI's list of Parameter Discovery Vocabularies -
From
http://marinemetadata.org/vocabularies/refs/discovery/ Vocabularies containing
lists of terms (sometimes called keywords) that are used to standardise the
process of finding data. Discovery vocabularies cover a wide metadata spectrum
including descriptions of parameters, platforms, instruments, projects,
geographic areas, etc. [NOTE: This link has been
corrected; it formerly linked to the MMI list of Units Vocabularies, which is
one level below Parameter Discovery at the MMI website.]
