Session
Technical Poster Session III
Location
Utah State University, Logan, UT
Abstract
Space mission metadata is not standardized and various mission outputs are typically disconnected. This situation makes it hard for different teams to share information, collaborate, or advise each other on best practices and lessons learned. The MetaSat team, made up of staff from both the Wolbach Library at the Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and the Libre Space Foundation (LSF), is addressing these issues by creating a metadata vocabulary and example JSON-LD schemas that can be used to describe small satellite missions. This work will help facilitate the ease of sharing information between missions and lower the barrier of entry into the field.
