Documentation Team

This is effectively everyone involved in NDG as we all have to do some documentation sometime. Everyone should have notes on their subversion checkins, the wiki, tickets or (if really sensitive) the bscw to let us keep in touch with changes and thoughts on why we're doing stuff.

Internal Documentation

The documents we need to help each other work in NDG.
Existing ones so far are:

• HowTo Docs
• CompleteUseCases
• Discovery Metadata Pipeline and key components, see Deployment Diagram

External Documentation

The documents we need to distribute with NDG "Products" - once we decide what these will be.
Latest discussion is in ExternalProductDefinition and associated DataProviderProducts MindMap

So far:

• Full DataProviders guide (exists, needs updating)
• Discovery only DPs guide
• MOLES guide (exists on BSCW, needs updating)
• CSML guide (exists on BSCW for v1, needs updating)

And the definitions of the various schema created / used by NDG

• CSML http://ndg.nerc.ac.uk/csml/
• MOLES http://ndg.nerc.ac.uk/schemas/moles_1.2.4.xsd
• StubB
• DIF  http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/Aboutus/xml/dif/dif_v9.4.xsd
• ISO19139
