Geospatial Cluster Telecon 23Jan12

January 23, 2012 Telecon

Topics:

AGENDA:

• Introduction
• Invitation to active membership and participation/contribution
• Telecon Topic:
  • Hyrax 1.8 release (including a WCS service that works with Hyrax) - OPeNDAP is interested in feedback from the cluster
  • Questions from OPeNDAP:
    • Our WCS service returns links to data that must be dereferenced to get the actual data file. Is that a problem for most clients?
    • The data file referenced is a netcdf3 data file. Is that a problem?
    • Our service returns all of its coverages in a single GetCapabilities response (i.e., one URL). Would it be better to have a separate URL for each coverage (and thus have only one coverage per GetCapabilities)?
  • If you have answers to these questions, please respond to James Gallagher or David Fulker directly, or send an email to the ESIP-geospatial mailing list.
  • Q&A from the group
    • If we install Hyrax, do we need to install Triple Store?
      • No. Triple Store comes with the WCS (in a jar file)
    • Which version of WCS are you implementing?
      • Version 1.1.2, which was the latest and greatest version at the time of development
• Goal setting - what do we want to focus on over the next 6 mos?
  • Topic ideas for breakout sessions
    • Use-cases/demos
    • Invited speakers
    • Best practices
• Identify reps to build an SME reference
  • Various formats
  • OPeNDAP
  • Open Source
  • etc.
• Start thinking about the Summer Meeting in Madison, WI (July 2012)
  • Half-day or full-day agenda? How many breakout sessions? Ideas?
• Conclusion and schedule for next telecon (February 2012)
  • When is the best time regular monthly telecons(what day of week/time)?
