Data Network: Context and Scope (Non-IT Issues)
What is the scope of the data network? Geographic, Variables?
What user types constitute the stakeholders in the network?
What organizations are stakeholders in the network?
What few things must be the same….? Autonomy Interop. balance
Data Network legitimacy, governance, impediments
Data Servers: Technical Realization (IT) Issues and Solutions
netCDF is standard format for multi-dimensional data. Cf-netCDF is used both as an archival format as well as a payload format for WCS queries. [Define here the python interface issue/question in about one sentence].
Data display is through WMS. AQ data can be delivered through WCS, WFS. In AComServ, WCS for transferring ndim grid and point-station data; WFS for deliver monitoring station descriptions. [Define here issues related to this choice; ]
What are WCS issues/solutions for delivering grid data [This is a loaded questions…how to tackle it?]
What are WCS issues/solutions for serving station-point data? [This is a loaded questions…how to tackle it?]
What are WCS server performance issues/solutions? [Define performance issues, measurements
Server co-development tools, maintenance, version control, Documentation
Relationship to non-AComServ WCS servers
Data Network: Technical Realization (IT) Issues and Solutions
Network-level data flow, usage statistics (GoogleAnalytics), performance
What is or should be the functionality of an AQ Network catalog? Data granularity?
What is ‘interoperability’ for catalogs? Interoperability with whom? what standards are needed? CF Naming extensions?
What are the generic (ISO, GEOSS, INSPIRE) and the domain-specific discovery metadata for AQ?
Minimal metadata for data provenance, quality, access constrains?
Single AQ Catalog? Distributed? Service-oriented?
