DCP-1

  • Title: ESIP Discovery Cast Atom Response Format v1.1
  • Submitted: 2011-02-08T13:00 PST
  • Review period deadline: 2011-02-28T00:00 PST
  • Current governance step: submitted
  • Background: At the NASA Earth Science Data System Working Group meeting in New Orleans on October 21, 2010, a proposal was made to expand the scope of Federated Open Search to cover Discovery more generally, thus bringing into the fold datacasting and servicecasting. Therefore a common Atom response format is needed that extends the Atom Syndication Format (RFC 4287) with extensions specific for Earth science data usage.
  • Problem addressed: Currently OpenSearch, datacasting and servicecasting all return very similar granule-level information. But there is no consistent format used. This proposal will provide a specification for a set of Earth science-specific extensions to the Atom response format.
  • Proposed solution: See Discovery_Cast_Atom_Response_Format. Note that this link will be changed to include a version.
  • Rationale for the solution: Reuse as much of existing standards as possible. Fold in Geo and Time extensions. Define a set of commonly used rel link types for OpenSearch, datacasting and servicecasting.


Template for new DCPs

All changes to the Discovery specifications must go through the governance process starting with a Discovery Change Proposal (DCP). Each DCP must include the following context for reference:

  • A unique identifier. For example, DCP-i, where i is a unique id. It is common to see an incrementing number used in these types of community based processes.
  • Title: Title of proposal.
  • Submitted: Timestamp of when proposal was submitted.
  • Review period deadline:
  • Facilitator: The primary editor to help the DCP move along the process.
  • Current governance step: choose from: submitted, proposal review, revision, vote, final review, ratified, rejected.
  • Background:
  • Problem addressed:
  • Proposed solution:
  • Rationale for the solution:
