Harmonize with GEOSS Standards Registry

[alex-ball]

GEOSS has compiled a registry of standards relevant to earth observations.

Tasks:

1. Identify standards/extensions from the GEOSS Standards Registry that are in scope but currently missing from MSD.
2. Either write original entries for those standards, or obtain permission from GEOSS to reuse their content.

New metadata standards:

• ECS Earth Science Data Model
• GeoTIFF
• SensorML – describing sensors and pre-/post-measurement processes rather than data directly

New data standards which include metadata:

• ANSI N42.42
• HDF-EOS
• IHO Universal Hydrographic Data Model – the metadata component is a profile of ISO 19115
• netCDF
• SAFE (Standard Archive Format for Europe) uses the OGC EOP O&M (OGC Earth Observation Metadata Profile of Observations & Measurements) for Earth Observation products and the SAFE Auxiliary Metadata Model for auxiliary files
• TimeSeriesML
• WaterML

Hi! I could contribute a short description for SensorML - should I just assume no one else is working on that?

@simonjirka @staschc Take a look at this metadata standard repository! Maybe you can contribute for WaterML, TimeSeriesML etc.?

As far as I know no-one is currently working on these entries, so please do go ahead. Thanks!
