Alison PammentNational Centre for Atmospheric Science (UK)Vocabulary management for CF Metadata ConventionsFacilitating community agreement of terminology (and associated definitions) within climate and earth system science communitiesOpen endedCF conventions are particularly important to the climate modelling community, e.g. for CMIP project, but are also becoming more widely used for observations (e.g. satellite EO, radar, oceanography)

Maria StoicaUniversity of ColoradoScientific Variables OntologyCreating an ontology blueprint, including universal categories and design patterns, and interpretation tools for creating machine-readable, atomistic representations of scientific variables.at least 2 more yearsSVO provides design patterns for physical observables and mathematical abstractions, including models and operations. Terminology is currently mostly covering the geosciences, but ongoing research efforts are focused on sourcing more terminology from open knowledge bases such as Wiktionary and Wikidata.

Barbara MagagnaEnvironmental Agency AustriaeLTER PlusIntegrating the operations of advanced cross-disciplinary and transdisciplinary research as reflected by the eLTER Sites and eLTSER Platforms experimental design and Standard Observation frameworkat least next 5 years
A major aim is to foster the development and facilitate the uptake of harmonised observation protocols and
methodologies as basis for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable & Re-usable (FAIR) data on Essential
Ecosystem Variables (EEVs). Barbara Magagna is the coordinator of EnvThes, the thesaurus of eLTER, where observable properties are described semantically

the long-term strategic goals of the eLTER RI in the mid- and long term
at least next 5 yearseLTER PPP will develop and disseminate novel methods for integrating ecosystem, critical zone, and socio-ecological research at pan-European, in situ research sites, and to integrate in situ measurements and remote sensing to develop and disseminate novel methods for integrating ecosystem, critical zone, and socio-ecological observations.

Currently using CF convention but not all our needs are accomadated by CF so that we would need in the future to apply for new names into those vocabulary.
