Participants: Jones, Gallagher, Altintas, Graham, Schildhauer, Cornillon, Potter
- Mark sent out draft documents for the workshop
- TODO: Send revisions to Mark for integration by end of April 19th
- Ilkay: "Reap Team" should be a person
- 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
- 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
- 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
