== Overview ==

[[File:Floodswithtitle.png|thumb|right|alt=Pages Floods Working Group Logo|Credit: [http://www.pastglobalchanges.org/ini/wg/floods/intro Pages Floods Working Group]]]

In the Linked Earth context, a [[:Category:Working_Group|working group]] (WG) is a self-organized coalition of knowledgeable experts, whose activities are governed [[:Category:Working_Group|herewith]]. This page is dedicated to the discussion of data and metadata standards for [[:Category:InferredVariable_(L) |Inferred Variables]] of '''floods''', and aims to formulate a set of recommendations for such a standard and a common classification used across all kind of proxy types. It will be closely linked to the [http://linked.earth/ontology/inferredVariable/1.0.0/index-en.html#Hydrology hydrology class]. This working group is an initiative of the [http://www.pages-igbp.org/ini/wg/floods/intro Pages Floods Working Group].

Flood estimations can be derived from various archive types, like

* [[:Category:Lake_Sediments_Working_Group |Lake Sediments]]
* Fluvial Sediments
* [[:Category:Marine_Sediment_Working_Group |Marine Sediments]]
* [[:Category:Speleothem_Working_Group |Speleothems]]
* [[:Category:Trees_Working_Group |Trees]]
* [[Historical_Documents_Working_Group |Historical Documents]]
* ...

so this data standard will also be a special subgroup of the [[Cross_Archive_Metadata | Cross Archive Metadata]], standardizing '''Inferred Variables'''.

== Flood Parameters ==

The Pages Flood Working Group started to collect parameters, relevant for analyzing, comparing and disseminating flood data.
Most of them already exist (at least similar) in the LiPD definition, but some may need to be added. 

Following main areas can be distingushed:

* Source
* Location
* Timing
* Classification
* References


=== Source === 

[[File:FloodsSources.png|thumb|right|alt=Flood Parameters|Parameters used for Source of Flood Data]]

The '''Source''' cluster refers to the creation of the data. It best corresponds to the '''Base metadata''' of LiPD.
