GFDRR / rdl-standard

The Risk Data Library Standard (RDLS) is an open data standard to make it easier to work with disaster and climate risk data. It provides a common description of the data used and produced in risk assessments, including hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and modelled loss, or impact, data.

[Schema] Declare different schemes for disaster id #221

Closed stufraser1 closed 1 year ago

stufraser1 commented 1 year ago 
          From a technical standpoint there is potential to reuse the new `Classification` object here. this would allow users to declare which scheme they're taking their disaster id from, e.g.:

"disaster_identifer": {
  "id": "ak0238v9wqev",
  "scheme": "Shakemap ID",
  "description": "M 3.4 - 15 km ESE of Eagle River, Alaska"
  "uri": "https://earthquake.usgs.gov/data/shakemap/"
}

the scheme's that it's possible to use could be added to the classification_scheme.csv codelist which is open.

This proposal would allow people to use other schemes other than GLIDE.

As we'll need to add these schemes to the classification_scheme codelist other than GLIDE what are the common disaster schemes that you'd like to include? (This is an open codelist so we don't need to be exhaustive but it'd be good to include the ones you think users are most likely to reference)

USGS PAGER event name; e.g., "M 3.7 - 44 km ENE of San Clemente Is. (SE tip), CA" or USGS PAGER event ID; e.g., "us7000krjx"

Looking into this PAGER is just one of the products produced by the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program, the other main one being ShakeMap. Both of these products use the same event ID. So I don't think it's appropriate to refer to it as the PAGER event ID. So I'm putting the scheme in as the "USGS Earthquake Hazard Program" and mentioning both PAGER and ShakeMap in the code description.

The Event name should be used in the .description field rather than the .id field of the Classification object.

DesInventar;new system online soon, cannot confirm format.

From what I can see with this there aren't globally unique IDs for the disaster events covered by this tool. It looks as though there is a "datacard" for each country and event type and the identifier is only unique within each "datacard". Therefore I don't think we should include it. Once it's up and running properly it can be revisited.
