Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions Features What is the purpose of METAMOD? METAMOD was initially developed to support scientific projects with data management. Development has focused on a cost effective system where several projects or operational services can share the same backend while maintaining a custom built user interface specific for each project. One METAMOD implementation may support many METAMOD instances. The first instance always own the database and some maintenance and configuration…

How to handle external dependencies (Suggestion)

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 May 2022 09:29:32 +0000

How to handle external dependencies (Suggestion) METAMOD uses a large number of external libraries and this number has increased greatly during the conversion to Catalyst. This document describes the how dependencies will be handled and why we have chosen to handlen them in this way.

History

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 May 2022 09:29:32 +0000

History During 2001/2002, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (METNO) implemented a web based tool (MetaMod) for searching data archived under the NoSerC project (). This tool was adapted for the DAMOCLES project in 2006/2007. The web interface and the overall functionality of the tool were very much improved during the DAMOCLES development, and just a small part of the original code base has remained unchanged. Other projects at METNO have also contributed to the deve…

Application logging

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 May 2022 09:29:32 +0000

Application logging METAMOD logs events that happen in the system. The logging of these events can be used for IT operations and for simplifying development. Logging framework To provide scalable and standardised logging, METAMOD uses the Log::Log4perl framework in Perl code and the log4php framework in PHP code. Both of these frameworks are ports of the log4j logging framework for Java.

Roadmap to Metamod 2.4, "Osisaf"

Roadmap to Metamod 2.4, "Osisaf" Minutes of meetings between Heiko and Egil, 2009-12-03 and 2009-12-04. Objective The Osisaf-project wishes to use Metamod for search and serve of data as http or opendap, but the most important users of Osisaf want to have data in well-defined places on a ftp-server. To avoid data-duplication, it is therefore important that Metamod leaves full control about data-placement to the data-production step. Metamod should not move any Osisaf-data, or set requirements…

Introducing two levels in the DataSet table

anonymous@undisclosed.example.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 May 2022 09:29:32 +0000

Introducing two levels in the DataSet table Minutes from discussion between Heiko and Egil 2009-02-17. Background A dataset imported to the database through the UPLOAD module represents a set of files. For the time being, each dataset is represented by one record in the DataSet table. To be able to search on individual files, the DataSet table should be extended to encompass records for each individual file. This gives a natural way to divide the records in the DataSet table into two levels. …

For each dataset we will need two XML files: Dataset XMD File In addition to an XML file containing the metadata (in one of several possible formats), we will need an XML file that describes identification etc. for the dataset.
