OG1.0 vocab review: Remarks and missing fields

[fmargirier]

Dear @OceanGlidersCommunity/og1-0-vocab-reviewers , Please find a compilation of my remarks concerning the Ocean format variables. Thanks for the tremendous work so far !

         agencies_role.md

• Should we add a field for the EDMO codes of institutions ?

      battery_type.md

• What of the emerging possibilities for double batteries ? Would we add two different battery types ?

     contributors_role.md

• I assume a person could have different roles ?

• Missing field for data commanditer (for payed missions for instance) ?

     data_mode.md

• Do we want to introduce a concept of full resolution VS decimated data ? It might complicate but spread the information that full resolution datasets are out there.

    phase.md

• ascent/descent phases should be split up in two, with enslaved modes (enslaved pitch/vertical velocity(through ballast) for instance during which actuators can move) compared to fixed actuators with variying pictch/ballast for instance.
• Should we add an initialising phase ?

• The parking should be split into two : drifting when parked at a depth which is not the ocean floor and bottom landing/moored when on the ocean floor.

   platform_maker.md

  • Missing glider manufacturers, of the Petrel-l / Sea wing / Zray / Locus...

    platform_model.md

  • Missing gliders Petrel-l / Sea wing / Zray / Locus / Alseamar ShallowExplorer

    platform_serial_number_prefix.md

  • shw | serial number prefix for ShallowExplorer

    rtqc_method.md

  • Do we only add the ones which are supported by OceanGliders ? Otherwise there are at least as many as there are sensors and I can think of some with one than more method (CTDs, ADCPs, SUNA...) I am thus not sure how to handle this one...

    tableOfControlledVocab.adoc

  • for the Variable Attributes, I am not sure I understand, isn't all this information already found elsewhere ?

    telecom_type.md

  • radio is missing from the list

    tracking_system.md

  • As for everything else, I assume it will be an option to have several ?
  • For the GPS, do we want to specify the constellations used ?

Thanks a lot and have a great day, Kindly Félix

Thank you for the review. I'm wondering to help resolve the above, it may be best to split this into several tickets.
