| | 13 | 1. '''Data Homogeneization:''' The different nature of the various climate products, models and variables, and the idiosyncratic naming and storage conventions often applied by the modelling centres, makes necessary a previous homogeneization across datasets in order to implement a truly user-friendly toolbox for data access. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | To this aim, a [wiki:SpecsEuporias/RPackage R package] for data access is currently under development. Data homogeneization is achieved through the creation of a common vocabulary. The particular variables of each dataset are then translated -and transformed if necessary- into the common vocabulary by means of a ''dictionary''. Both features -vocabulary and dictionary- are described [wiki:SpecsEuporias/RPackage/Homogeneization here]. |
