Local Data Dictionary Name: Small Bodies Node Dictionary
Namespace ID Requested: sbn
Discipline or Mission LDD? Discipline
Steward Organization Name: SBN (SBNUMD for now)
LDD Steward Name: Anne Raugh
LDD Steward Email: araugh@umd.edu
LDD Stewardship Team Members: acraugh
LDD Description: This dictionary will provide classes to support the documentation, support, discovery, and reuse of data from, by, and for small bodies research.
Rationale for creation of new LDD: As I work on migrating SB data from missions, space telescopes, and groundbased sources, it seems that the small bodies community has a very different view from other PDS user communities of the how to process and document image data, and what metadata is essential for discovery and reuse. SB-related data processing and analysis also seems to involve situations that do not appear to recur at other nodes - or they would already be present as options in existing discipline dictionaries like img: and proc:. SBN does not have sufficient personnel to add people to several other steward teams even if it were likely those stewards would be willing to introduce potentially breaking changes to their dictionaries, nor the calendar time at this point to wait until there is a formal design and configuration control process established for discipline dictionaries. In order to be able to complete migration of high-priority data sets on schedule and better support data coming in from PDS4 missions, the necessary support will be designed and created within the SBN namespace following established conventions as far as possible where they exist, and small bodies conventions where those differ from existing conventions in other discipline dictionaries.
