AB: The Comprehensive Large Array Data Stewardship System (CLASS) is a NOAA wide data and information system covering many diverse data elements. The data currently served by CLASS cover a range from terrestrial weather to space and ocean and increasingly included modeled output as well as the observational data types. The development of ordering capabilities for these diverse data which are presented to a clientele from unique backgrounds has precipitated the need for data models, structures, and semantic mappings which cover many disciplines. We will present our CLASS developed ordering extensions and discuss how these relate to extant community standards. In particular we will discuss the semantic mapping necessary to present the data across a broad user base and how the work done may be relevant to other community efforts.
