<strong>Global</strong> <strong>Drought</strong> <strong>Monitoring</strong> and European <strong>Drought</strong><br />
Observatory-Water SBA Engineering Report<br />

Highlighting <strong>the</strong> soil moisture term and clicking on <strong>the</strong> search button retrieves: daily soil<br />
moisture per region; daily soil moisture anomaly per region (EDO): humedad del suelo en<br />
Espana, composite drought indicator, forecasted soil moisture trend (EDO); forecasted soil<br />
moisture anomaly (EDO); daily soil moisture anomaly EDO; and daily soil moisture.<br />
Although this is not a direct test utilizing <strong>the</strong> full ontology, <strong>the</strong> results are encouraging in<br />
supporting <strong>the</strong> use of a specialized concept-oriented vocabulary, such as that of drought, in<br />
supporting more effective searches.<br />
7. <strong>Drought</strong> Metadata for fostering interoperability between EDO and EU national<br />
drought monitors<br />
European efforts, independent of AIP, have constructed drought metadata and <strong>the</strong><br />
registration of drought datasets (for Spain),part of <strong>the</strong> metadata creation and registration upper<br />
tier “Catalog” box of <strong>the</strong> Australia Water Resources Information System diagram (Figure 6).<br />
