- Testbed Overview and promotion - maybe a standup survey? (Ken)
- Quick poll of attendees - simple binary questions
- Did you know ESIP has a Testbed?
- Y= N=7
- Did you know ESIP has a Testbed?
- Quick poll of attendees - simple binary questions
- Would you consider using cloud resources for your work?
- Y=3 N=
Intro
- Originated from the products and services committee
- Improve visibility of the work
- Proposal for funding of new activities
- Establishment of testbed configuration board
- Future: improve visibility, work with implementation teams, integrate with ESIP commons
- Esipfed.org/testbed-activities
- Monthly telecons will be used to report out on testbed activities
ESIP Front Office Perspective on the Testbed - Carol/Erin
- Knowledge and technology transfer by experts
- Testbed shows results of community driven approaches
- Testbed: a structured approach for evaluating a technology, software, or even process (committee should settle on a formal definition)
- What is the testbed going to look like?
- The products and services committee should better define the testbed and the governance/management/policies of the testbed,
- How will other groups utilize the testbed?
- There should be options for expansion/moving forward with the testbed.
- Current Tasks - very brief overview (3 min each, 1-2 slides)
Portal - Phil/Chen
- Need a more customized portal for the testbed other than the wiki, configurable to developers, and more visible for other ESIP members and the public
- Use Drupal based system for testbed (task intro, community forum, and project management components) – some components will only be available internally
Discovery - Christine/Hook
- Organization of data resources and advertising these data/services through data casting.
- ESRI Geoportal solution
Quality - Phil/Greg/Rezgui
- Provide a quality measure for ESIP products and services
- Develop an automatic classification/annotation system that accesses, monitors, and accurately report on the quality of data products
- Quality model: quality metrics (i..e accuracy, precision, timeliness) and draw from several quality standards (i.e. ISO 8000, FIPS….)
- For services: ISO 9126 (software quality model)
- Classification engine: derives quality based on developed model
Metadata - Jerry/Rahul
- Generic metadata editor supporting system using Drupal CMS
- Tool can be reusable to support multiple metadata standards and their variations
- GUI can choose a sub-set of the schema (profile)
- Complete Wizard forms, auto pick-list, complete ISO support
- Tool can be reusable to support multiple metadata standards and their variations
Preservation - Nancy
- Explore the operational and implementation issues resulting from assigning identifiers to data content
- A real use follow-up to the citation paper published by Ruth Durr (NSIDC) – looking at 9 ID schemes
- Value for services associated with each ID scheme (resolution service, making MD available to indexing services)
Cloud Resources - A Testbed task, then the Testbed Infrastructure - Phil
- A testbed of cloud resources/ A cloud to host testbed tasks/services
- Requirements for cloud computing adoption for the ESIP testbed
- Develop an execution plan by summer ESIP meeting
- Identify cloud resources (Amazon, Microsoft, Nebula, private cloud)
- Cloud computing requirements for the Earth science community
Open Discussion (and buffer for going over on other presentations)
- Possible Future tasks:
- Semantic web activities
- When to move tasks from Testbed to Production
- Semantic web activities
- Other discussion topics?
- Who gets first priority in the testbed??
- Would be this be addressed in the governance model?
- Funding considerations, clear on proposal requirements
- Maybe a follow-up survey to see if anyone has new appreciation of the Testbed
- What do you want to get out of the testbed?
- Is there a way to extract from AGU presentations a list of problems/issues that can be put into a testbed. Hadbu from AGU???
- Making the testbed results reusable for other applications and organizations – need a procedure for this (action item) – perhaps task/role of the testbed configuration board
- Security issues at NASA data centers with being behind firewalls and numerous security procedures
- Who is interested in participating in the testbed?
- Y=almost everyone
