        ## py-thesaurus-interface
        An interface to metadata vocabularies for geospatial and other geophysical data
        
        ## Install
        ```
        pip install https://github.com/nansencenter/py-thesaurus-interface/archive/master.tar.gz
        ```
        ## Usage
        ```
        import pythesint as pti
        pti.get_gcmd_instrument('MERIS')
        pti.get_gcmd_platform('ENVISAT')
        pti.get_gcmd_provider('NERSC')
        ```
        
        ## Standards
        
        The package follows the standards defined at NASA's Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) (http://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov) and the NetCDF-CF conventions (http://cfconventions.org/), plus possibly others that will be added as needs emerge... The standards are mapped in Python dictionaries and saved to json-files.
        
        ## Directory Interchange Format (DIF)
        
        The DIF format is a descriptive and standardized format for exchanging information about scientific data sets. The py-thesaurus-interface package provides an interface to the keywords and formats defined at GCMD.
        
        See: Directory Interchange Format (DIF) Writer's Guide, 2015. Global Change Master Directory. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. [http://gcmd.nasa.gov/add/difguide/].
        
        ## Controlled keyword vocabularies from GCMD
