Hello AWG members! @HardwareAWG @AWGall
With @jessica.a.lee’s leadership on the Hardware AWG roadmap, we are launching a SPLASH Data Standardization Subgroup, co-led by @RushiGuppy and @luis.depombopuerta, to improve metadata consistency, searchability, and documentation in SPLASH. This is separate from the Content Subgroup, led by @adhvim (see @NateA’s announcement there).
Goal: define field standards (units, formats, controlled vocabularies), keep the live database and docs aligned, and build on prior discussion in SPLASH Data Standardization and minimum publish fields.
Why join: SPLASH is only as useful as its metadata. Better standards mean hardware that is easier to find, compare, and trust. This is a chance to help set those rules early, while the catalog is still growing.
We need help with: standard units and field formats, reviewing existing fields, parameter documentation, and section organization. No prior SPLASH experience required. If you have domain expertise, ontology experience, or just strong opinions about good metadata, we want to hear from you.
Join us: fill out the interest form by Friday, June 26, 11:00 PM PT (takes a few minutes):
Hardware AWG Data Standardization Interest
Background: Data Standardization Hardware AWG Subgroup Invitation. Contact @RushiGuppy or @luis.depombopuerta with questions.
Looking forward to working with you!
