What is a Working Group?
In the Linked Earth context, a working group (WG) is a self-organized coalition of knowledgeable experts who elaborate and discuss the components of a data standard for their specific sub-field.
Working groups can be created by any member of the LinkedEarth community to discuss topics of interest.
Each WG page needs the following elements:
- A list of the various group Members
- Polls on specific questions.
- A log of decisions made (e.g., table with dates and content of discussions)
How to join a WG?
On your profile page, you have the option of joining working groups simply by inputting their names in the "Working Groups" tab. The only WGs to pop up are those currently in existence. If the one you want doesn't exist yet, please create it.
Note that joining a working group adds all pages belonging to that working group category to be added to the user's watchlist.

How to create WG?
To create a WG, create a new page and tag it as a sub category of the WG category. The list of working groups will be shown automatically at the bottom of this page (as subcategories of the Working_Groups category).
When you want to categorize any wiki page as belonging to that working group, add the working group category to the wiki page.
Working Group Charter
Membership
Membership of each WG is open to all wiki users, with some monitoring from WG coordinators. The coordinators are community members of recognized expertise who have volunteered to serve in this position. Their role is to organize discussions and check progress of other WGs to ensure maximum uniformity.
Aims
The primary goal of WGs is to standardize how paleoclimate data are described and shared. The process is defined here and the specific charge emanating from the Paleoclimate Data Standards workshop is outlined on this page. Each WG should take up these questions as relevant to their archive of choice; to ensure that common solutions are designed, WG coordinators will regularly check-in with each other and with LinkedEarth leadership.
Decision-process
Each WG operates by consensus. Wiki polls track the answers to specific questions.
Timeline
The preliminary timeline of WG activities is defined here but will evolve as work begins.
Prior discussions on Standards Developments in Paleoclimatology
We welcome any summaries of prior discussions on data standards you may have had at meetings, workshops. To do so, either link to a document that you have uploaded on the wiki or create a new page and list it below. Sign and data using the following notation:~~~~

Cross-Archive Metadata
This section is dedicated to the discussion of metadata that would apply for all the paleoclimate archives. For discussion on a specific archive, see the archive working group.
How this section is organized
The section is structured around polls to gather community votes on whether a particular metadata property should be considered essential, required, or desired metadata (for a definition of these terms, see this page. The polling is divided around two "types" of datasets: New Datasets and Legacy Datasets.
The subsections are organized around the categories available on the wiki.
Click on the links to see the current definition of the term. If you disagree on the definition, please use the Discussion page on the term.
If you think a metadata property is missing, add a poll directly in the appropriate section (don't forget to add the poll for both new and legacy datasets!)
Just a few questions to get you started. These concern both legacy and new datasets:
In answering this question, remember that all the datasets on the wiki are public. The LinkedEarth team is considering adding a feature where a dataset could be uploaded and kept private until publication for use with codes and softwares but this feature is not yet available.
