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 to data-names.
Implementation ideas
A independent upload task will be written. This task will be triggered based upon an url which is:
http://metamod.../...?dataset=...&dirkey=...&filename=...&filename=...
Calling this url will extract the metadata from the files named by filename
and add the metadata to the dataset
. The dirkey
is used as a password and needs to be set up when setting up the dataset
. The data-files need be uploaded to the final data-store (ftp-server) before triggering that task. This task will only harvest metadata, but not move any data.
Timeline
Tentative date: 2010-01-15
