Metadata Standard for xsd

[rcasey-earthscope]

With this registry having the potential to have a wide audience, cross-discipline, should we advertise a metadata standard that the registry schema adheres to. This brings up the question of: should we be adhering to a metadata standard? (ISO)

The registry schema and exchange format are defined by the format specified as JSON Schema in this very project. It is advertised on www.fdsn.org/datacenters/.

I don't think there's anything stopping us from adopting another flavor of ISO (or other) standardized metadata for output and perhaps input. Got one in mind that you think fits?

I was thinking ISO 19115, which everyone in metadata seems to reference and use. It's not specifically designed for federated data centers, but it might be worth seeing how well the CI package in that spec fits to the registry schema terms. Just thought I'd put a pin in this to consider as this registry could be very useful to other federations.
