IPET-MDRD/TT-MDI reviews WIS discovery metadata records by WMO programmes

Recently our team had opportunity to review a set of WIS discovery metadata (i.e. geographical metadata in ISO 19139 format) made by GAWSIS (GAW Station Info Service by MeteoSwiss).

That was really good opportunity to refresh my memory, implement missing links, and practice interaction between WMO programmes.  Our role is to establish conventions (notations) to express various metadata which is special to WMO, so it is essential to have input from WMO programmes.
