Detailed instructions for and guidance on OSCAR metadata maintenance procedures are provided in the Guide to the WMO Integrated Global Observing System. This Guide will contain the OSCAR User Manual, which will include instructions on how to perform manual inputs to the OSCAR system. Automated input will involve a most likely using XML data “machine-to-machine” exchange, format. To allow for the transfer of ABO metadata (not in XML) to OSCAR/Surface, a metadata conversion tool will need to be developed, that is, and the like.

Members and ABO focal points of operational ABO programmes should ensure that they make and implement plans for adherence to the above requirements and responsibilities immediately, and should ensure compliance with the requirements for the operation of OSCAR and maintenance of OSCAR metadata upon WMO provision of the relevant regulations and guidance, and notification of completion of the operational implementation of the OSCAR system.
