The ipaast-czo project (Interoperable Precision Agricultural and Archaeological Sensing Technologies - Critical Zone Observation) invited comments on drafts of guidance prepared on a range of remote and near surface sensing data types used in applications across agri-environment and archaeological applications. These documents are intended to improve technical and semantic interoperability of these data types. Each document includes sections which describe the type of data in general terms, make recommendations for minimal metadata and thematic tags (from standard vocabularies), describe common data processing stages, explain the scope of applications of the data, and provide a short bibliography of relevant literature. Guides were updated based on comments received. This archive contains multiple versions of guides which were substantively altered following public consultation.
