NDG PB and AH July 2006

• CSML
  • not developed in isolation.
    • conformance to emerging best practice
  • DECISIONS
    • all new engineering on csml2.0 should be finished by pre-beta
    • new developments
      • processing affordance
      • GML 3.2
      • swath, profileCollection
      • storage descriptor moving to own namespace
      • composite domain pattern (remove WHY WHY WHY)
      • respect standards and autogeneration tools
    • what is CSML
      • Core set of base types
      • trivially derived FTs
      • schemas
      • tooling
        • parser
        • scanner
          • cf-compliant netcdf specific
        • api: basic services
    • Care in evolution
      • bodc should be able to do it from sql to python code
      • nocs may need to transform csml1 to csml2 to avoid rereading entire archive
  • Need to consider the relationship of delivery service CSML and content at all data providers
    • How do we plan to deliver qxf files to the consumer of csml files
      • qxf read methods
• MOLES
  • Decisions
    • MOLES is an INTERNAL NDG format
    • Main reason for existence
      • provide common interface for producing D
        • content for exporting DIF, ISO19139
      • Provides tool for NAVIGATION
    • Moles should NOT be a profile of ISO19139
      • Internal information storage should not be driven by external standards
    • Needs to be easier to modify, and extend by adding external schema
    • Needs the "coathanger" functionality.
      • three types
        • import content as is
        • link to content
        • import content rendered by this service
  • Major Priorities
    • Sort out Granules
      • cross over with CSML
    • Sort out SpatialTemporal? Descriptoin
      • are bounding boxes sorted
    • Schema for Stub-B
      • no explicit catering for big deployments etc
    • Add Coathanger Functionality
      • specifiy mechanism
        • includes what is being hung off
      • to which nodes
    • Add ISO19139 export
      • which profiles
      • do we have the content?
      • need code
    • UML model of existing MOLES
    • Documentation, Documentation, Documentaiton
• xlink pattern issue
  • transport mechanism
  • uri
  • file type
  • insert or load
  • role in moles and csml
  • server side subsetting, how to put in the uri
  • xlink
    • roile
    • arcrole
• Services
  • Discovery
    • ISO191309 import
      • browse/discovery view
      • import of spatio/temporal into backend complex database
    • Role of OpenSearch?
    • Role of OGC Catalogue Services
    • Greg Read having an IOC WMO profile meeting in September in Phillidelphia
    • Z39.50 gateway
• Security
  • evolving to more standards compliance
  • Java coding
• AHM
  • One free person (registration paid for)
  • Michael and Helen
  • Mike
    • on holiday?
• Meetings Needed
  • Need a bbftp, delivery service, csml discussion, then talk about dx/wXs
  • Code Review meeting
  • BInary Image Format Meeting
• Issues to trac
  • Who owns BBFTP
  • vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk
  • Browse
    • history should include D
    • xml rendering/printing clarity needed
  • WG issue: how to manage role mapping as things change in data providers
    • can we use the vocab server for role publication
    • can the aa check whether they have changed
  • How can we limit discovery searches to specific sites ...
  • Should Moles creation tools be externally facing?
  • What advice would one starting from scratch?
    • database configuratoins
    • dataset/datagranule decisions, reasons, and limitations
    • clear guidance needed for use of csml docs (e.g. can cope with 10,000 files)
  • Automatic population of OAI repository from updated MOLES ...
    • PML do that ...
  • Still need to resolve OAI respository quality issues.
  • CSML API read methods need coordiation (ie. dom isn't doing the work, but he needs to implement them); relationship with CF-API work.
    • testrig via equivalents to ncdump and ncview? Exploiting CDAT
  • Phenomenon needs to be fully described (cell methods problem)
  • Expecation: where a standard name exists, exploit parameter mapping in vocab server to provide discovery vocabularly. Where a standardd name doesn't exist, we need to face the fact that moles records don't have parameter discovery ... records ...
  • csml api needs to be able to point at a file or an exist db csml file
  • what do we do about duplicates in our oai harvested repository
  • namespace problems in xqueries in exist and csml etc
  • we have one oai repository
    • should have two exist databases
      • one live one development
    • both populated directly
  • harvest now button
  • link checker for harvested material
    • could send an email if some exists to do so
    • flag broken links in display
  • parse access constraints a bit more carefully
  • Better branding for data providers (icons in browse etc)
  • How to show html in Trac ...
