* This document describes the metadata fields that will be used by OceanOPS to populate the “Network” field in their system.
* This document describes the metadata fields `Networks` and `Site` used in the [OG-1.0 format](https://github.com/OceanGlidersCommunity/OG-format-user-manual).
* The goal is to have BOON assets identified and easy to find within OceanOPS. Granularity is needed both in **network** attribution and **site** attribution.
* These metadata fileds will allow a better tracking of the BOON Task Team activity, and assessement of the status of the task team toward its target.
* Values for the metadata fields can be flexible but will be managed in a vocabulary on GitHub to make it easier for data providers to best populate the fields and allow for cohesion.
