Schedule for breakout session at ESIP
- Scheduled for Wednesday, July_13,_2011 @ 8:30am-10:00am. Track 4: ESIP Discovery Show and Tell
- (from last month's telecon)
- Overview of Discovery session
- Get everyone up to speed with discovery services.
- Designated technical consultants for each area:
- OpenSearch: Chris Lyness
- ServiceCasting: Brian Wilson
- Collection Casting: Ruth Duer
- Services/Solr/Depoyment: Hook Hua
- Showcase of various clients (e.g. ServiceCasting or DataCasting)
- more like outreach. demonstrate impact of cluster
- 10-15 minutes each.
- GES DISC (Mirador, Simple Subset Wizrd, and Community Based Giovanni)
- NSIDC can also show interface
- JPL DataCasting
- ECHO? (latest multi-format client)
Products and services proposal
- What use(s) the Discovery cluster might be able to think of proposing. See Testbed.
- Write draft proposal
- Discovery Services and Clients: Interoperability Testing and Advertisement
- The Discovery cluster provides a medium for Federation members to coordinate on development, deployment, and creation of interoperable specifications for Discovery services such as OpenSearch, DataCasting, and ServiceCasting. As such, a common testbed to deploy services and/or clients would enable the Federation members to test the interoperability of Discovery services and clients. More over, having a common testbed where Federation members from various data centers can access would provide a common platform that can be used to advertise their services. Currently it is difficult to know where services exist, what they do, and how to access them. Several machine-processable mechanisms for advertising services (such as service casting) have been evaluated by the NASA Tech Infusion Working Group. The testbed will provide an environment to demonstrate how Federation-wide member services can be advertised, described, and chained together using existing technologies.
- ESIP Community Benefits: Improved interoperability of ESIP Discovery services and clients leading to broader adoption. Increased awareness and usage of Discovery services.
- Cost: $8K to (1) setup the testbed for allowing service and client implementations to be deployed onto the testbed and (2) setup a service cast of Federation member’s services offered
Plan for dialogue with OGC
- Ask George Percivall to have someone attend the June telecon telecon to go through the OGC OpenSearch spec
- at June 14th telecon
- go over the OGC OpenSearch spec
Discovery RSS Response Format
- (from last month's telecon)
- Cover for the two groups of users
- With vested interest: direct interest in DataCasting service.
- Without vested interest: interested in implications across other Discovery services.
Webinar for infusion of discovery technology
- (from last month's telecon)
- To help new infusion cases of Discovery services.
- Example case: EPA (Bill Sonntag)
- Possible title: "Getting started with ESIP Discovery Services"
- intended mainly for the techies.
- could even show again at ESIP.
- Contribute slide content
- new wiki page Discovery Webinar Materials created to post content to.
- Ruth has some high-level slides for setting the ground work.
- To be effective, need to cover service providers and clients.
- Cover services for OpenSearch, ServiceCasting, and DataCasting
- Show some existing applications.
- Show power of mashups.
- Ruth at beginning stages of using DataCasting to feed aggregator for web portal
