DataONE Developer Call - 2011-01-05
===================================

:Attendees: Paul Allen, Dave Vieglais, Bob Sandusky, Roger Dahl, John Kunze, Mark Servilla, Jeff Horsburgh, Matt Jones, Rebecca Koskela, Ryan Scherle, Line Pouchard, Bruce Wilson, Rob Nahf, Ravi Vegiraju


Action Items:

- Schedule discussion for CiLogon page (Mark)
- Invitations to Integration and Semantics workshop for Mark Schildhauer and John K. (Line, Jeff)
- CCIT consider overall goals for IS working group and key deliverables over next couple of years (CCIT)
- Vote on vacation destination for July CCIT meeting (Dave send out note to CCIT)
- Moving forward with hardware purchase - question on preferred vendor vs. bid (Dave)
- Solicit input on Docs and presentations for Feb review (+ EAB) (Dave)
- Brief note about PASTA <-> DataONE (Mark)


Agenda and Notes
----------------

0. Comments on DataONE branded CILogon page (Mark)

- Take a look at: https://cilogon.org/?skin=DataONE

- Please provide Mark Servilla with feedback regarding the general appearance and usability from a DataONE end user perspective on this interface.

- Matt - suggest a bit more discussion - e.g. what to do with the certificate, etc. Lots of usability issues associated with handling certificates - web interface is probably fine, it's what to do with it afterwards.

- Mark will doodle poll for additional discussion

1. General update on CI

- update on bugs and issues surrounding identifier encoding
- update on general progress
    -- about to embark on MN replication for Metacat, largely complete for GMN, needs work on the CN side
    -- starting work on Authorization implementation
        http://mule1.dataone.org/ArchitectureDocs-current/design/Authorization.html
        -- feedback requested ASAP
    -- will be starting to focus on ITK demos for site review

2. Preparations for the EAB (Jan 17-18) and NSF Review (Feb 22-24)

A. Documents

- Define cyberinfrastructure
- Design, reference architecture diagrams
- Software development and implementation timeline
- Goals of the DataNet program as implemented by DataONE infrastructure
  
  - Curation and preservation
  - Search and discovery
  - Security
  - Integration with investigator tools

- Technical collaborations

B. Presentations

C. Demonstrations

From http://epad.dataone.org/20101110-CCIT-VTC :

• 1. Target deliverables for the February review
• 
  
•   i. Infrastructure functionality
• 
  
•     - Add content to a member node
•     - Synchronize coordinating node catalog with member node content
•     - Discover newly added content
•     - Retrieve new content from original member node
•     - Replicate content to another member node
•     - Resolve the location of the content
•     - Retrieve content with original member node offline
•     - Authenticate using CILogon
• 
  
•   ii. infrastructure deployment
•   
•     - Three coordinating nodes (UNM, UCSB, ORC)
•     - KNB member node (Chad)
•     - DAAC member node (Bruce, Roger)
•     - Dryad member node (Ryan)
•     - Generic member node (as replication target)
•     - Monitoring (Rob)
•     - CILogon branding (Mark, Jeff)
• 
  
•   iii. Client tools
• 
  
•     - ITK libraries in python and java
•     - Command line client (Roger, Dave)
•       - Probably satisfactory for very basic interaction with CN and MN
•       - Need to verify
•     - R client (Matt)
•       - (EVA experiment) Should be fairly straight forward to execute within D1
•       - Read data from D1 (not dependent on authentication)
•     - Zotero (Bruce, Ryan) 
•       - goal similar to do something as Dryad does - e.g. RDFa tags in HTML output

         -  Add tags to mercury html page output
         

•     - Morpho (Chad)
•       - Use to add content to D1.

        - Depends on authentication stuff
        - fall back is to use existing interface to inject content into Metacat
        - Adapting Morpho would emphasize the issues associated with implementation 

•  
•     - EVA (Paul and Matt)
•        - Met with Daniel and Kevin - putting together R scripts to generate a  couple of frames of the animation output (end of Nov)
•       - Matt will modify to use the R client
•       - Moving scripts into VisTrails (Kevin Webb), and Kepler (Matt)?
• 
  
•         - May be possible to enable VisTrails by review time
• 
  
•       - Demo is to do live demo, getting live, toy data set, doing analysis. Also show time-compressed canned animation of actual EVA dataset download, analysis, and visualization.
•     - (other clients as resources permit)
• 
  
•   iv. Documentation
• 
  
•     - Architecture documentation (cleaned up, html, pdf, epub formats)
•     - Member node participation documentations
•     - Investigator toolkit (tools documented, new tool construction document)
•     - Implementation plan for PASTA
  • overview document of implementing MN functionality / mapping between PASTA and D1
