Conference Call Notes 20070418

Difference between version 19 and version 4:

Line 2 was replaced by line 2
- __Participants__: Jones, Gallagher, Altintas, Graham, Schildhauer
+ __Participants__: Jones, Gallagher, Altintas, Graham, Schildhauer, Cornillon, Potter
Line 6 was replaced by line 6
- * Send revisions to Mark for integration
+ * __TODO__: Send revisions to Mark for integration by end of April 19th
At line 7 added 7 lines.
+ * Peter: be definitive about plans, can always change them later
+ * Peter: be succinct
+ * Upload to wiki by end of week
+ * Ilkay: use "oceanographers and terrestrial ecologists"
+ * __TODO__: Mark, Peter, Eric to finalize the invite list
+ * Ilkay: should have someone from ROADNet -- Vernon? -- for the workshop
+ * __TODO__: Mark and Matt to upload edited documents to wiki
At line 9 added 5 lines.
+ * need to make decision on Crossbow motes versus NI CompactRIO
+ ** Crossbows can be pretty flakey
+ *** Sevilletta LTER has had problems with them
+ * EricG: Onset might be a better option
+ * __TODO__: EricG to send info on datalogger options to Eric S and Matt
Line 11 was replaced by lines 23-47
- ! Developer update
+ ! Development update
+ * Ilkay
+ ** Looking into RBNB and Antelope docs to determine the access API
+ ** Been working on a Kepler stream actor to get RBNB from NEON stream testbed
+ ** Aiming for NEON TDR meeting on April 29
+ *** Adapting code from Peter Shin @ NEON that had been used for storing data in relational db
+
+ * Nathan
+ ** data models seem compatible -- looked at the Ptolemy model and there's a reasonable mapping between the types
+ *** fixed point type probably maps to a float
+ ** sequence is an ongoing problem
+ ** have to map grids, but will lose implied semantic information
+ *** grid is collection of arrays, main array with other arrays that specify, e.g., coordinates in lat and lon
+ *** need to try to maintain the implied relationship between these 3 arrays to ease processing
+ ** hasn't figured out how to implement an actor
+ *** __TODO__: Nathan work with Ilkay on actor
+ ** also need to map Common Data Model (CDM) and EML
+ *** [http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/software/eml/]
+ *** unifies HDF5, NetCDF4, OPeNDAP
+ *** much of the CDM has to deal with quirks of HDF5 focused on HPC access to data
+ *** __TODO__: Nathan develop a more formal mapping between the major data models
+ ** Peter: suggests Nathan, Peter, James propose a schedule for data model mapping description and implementation in Kepler
+
+ ! Next meeting: May 2, 2007 10:00 am pacific time
