| − | === Plans for awarded Discovery Testbed implementation ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== Meeting Notes ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Discovery cluster submitted testbed to ESIP Products and Services committee
| |
| − | ** Awarded to ESRI, lead by Christine White
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * What could ESRI do that would be useful for the ESIP Discovery Cluster?
| |
| − | ** What are the goals?
| |
| − | ** What are the success criteria?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Christine can present status/progress at Winter Meeting
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Solicitation was about...
| |
| − | ** Testbed for interoperability testing
| |
| − | ** Used for advertising ESIP community services
| |
| − | ** Services to data broker (identifies services that are compatible with data) ("Icing on the cake")
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * ESRI's response:
| |
| − | ** Responded to 3 of the tasks, selected for task 2
| |
| − | ** using open source GeoPortal server software as a base
| |
| − | *** can be extended/modified/etc. without concern
| |
| − | *** http://geoportal.sourceforge.net/
| |
| − | *** http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/geoportal/index.html
| |
| − | ** Some of the RFP features are available out of the box (GeoRSS/Atom results)
| |
| − | ** Development would be useful for orgs outside of ESIP
| |
| − | ** the hours of the project will be billed for conversations with ESIP, development will be paid for by ESRI
| |
| − | ** ESRI gets first-hand information/use cases for developing this data portal
| |
| − | ** Cluster gets a useful testbed for advertising services/datasets, etc. for RFP
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * What sort of impact should the RFP have on Discovery Cluster? What can be coordinated by ESRI?
| |
| − | ** Anyone using GeoPortal automatically cast datasets?
| |
| − | *** All providers using GeoPortal can be aggregated using data casting standards.
| |
| − | ** Is it possible to get "automatic" casting from GeoPortal?
| |
| − | ** Ruth clarifies casting from GeoPortal.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * What is the best way for cluster to collaborate with ESRI?
| |
| − | ** Ruth: NSIDC can talk to ESRI about what the GeoPortal should have (i.e., casting capabilities)
| |
| − | ** Hook: what about the OpenSearch front-end, GeoPortal has uses OpenSearch...
| |
| − | ** Chris: seeking a "standing" server where people can write and test OpenSearch clients
| |
| − | ** Christine: GeoPortal can be used to register data and services, it can also be an endpoint for testing clients
| |
| − | ** Chris: would the GeoPortal server respond to OpenSearch request
| |
| − | *** Christine: it should
| |
| − | ** GeoPortal is not the interface at geoportal.org
| |
| − | ** Hook: suggests a starting point - a place for community members to register OpenSearch services, casting services, etc.
| |
| − | *** GeoPortal can be used to register and search services
| |
| − | ** Christine offered to give a demo of a "vanilla" GeoPortal server
| |
| − | *** '''This can be a topic of next month's telecon.'''
| |
| − | ** Christine will coordinate with Hook and Brian to produce an interesting demo
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * What is the timeline for the work?
| |
| − | ** ESRI is flexible on the timeline (response was to have work completed within one year)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * What are the success criteria?

| − | === ESIP 2012 Winter session planning ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * What are the Discovery Cluster topics?
| |
| − | ** One topic may be a recap of the charrette, joint breakout of discovery and ESC
| |
| − | ** Basic planning meeting, to plan goals for the next six months
| |
| − | *** Discuss plans for moving forward on the testbed
| |
| − | ** Workshop/breakout for GeoPortal demo or progress report
| |
| − | ** Need titles, main speakers, short abstract by next week for scheduling a winter meeting session
| |
| − | * Proposed Sessions
| |
| − | ** a face-to-face meeting for wrapping up DCPs
| |
| − | *** New DCPs
| |
| − | **** DCP for error handling not discussed (but it is implied for OpenSearch to use HTTP error codes)
| |
| − | ** Casting demos
| |
| − | *** The theme is collaboration, how can casting/discovery conventions support collaboration
| |
| − | *** Ruth will be able to show next step beyond July demo (aggregating casts from distributed sources, making available to portal using OpenSearch)
| |
| − | *** Need to focus on demos/use cases that align with collaboration theme
| |
| − | ** Part of planning session: What are the implications for discovery conventions in the ESC?
| |
| − | *** How do we move forward on a more collaborative discovery cluster?
| |
| − | *** How can the discovery services meet the requirements of the ESC? (joint-session with ESC)
| |
| − | * Winter meeting is shorter, so not as much time for demos/workshops
| |
| − | * The ESRI demo/participation in Winter Meeting will be coordinated by the Discovery cluster
| |
| − | * ACTION ITEM: Submit the abstracts for the Winter Meeting sessions

| |
| − | === DCP-3 ===
| |
| − | [[Discovery_Change_Proposal-3]]
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Is the Discovery cluster defining the "types" that are allowable?
| |
| − | ** the convention should be totally open, no constraints on what values are used
| |
| − | * Using plurals to differentiate collections of data and services vs. individual services
| |
| − | ** use "serviceCast" and "collectionCast" instead of "collections" and "services"
| |
| − | * Should differentiate between data available from FTP and data offered through OPeNDAP
| |
| − | * Anyone can add examples to the wiki
| |
| − | * What about structured metadata file?
| |
| − | ** What's the metadata format (ISO would be an example)?
| |
| − | * Add example for OpenSearch Description Document (has its own mime/type)
