Data Ingestors

There is a layer is where we develop tools which take advantage and begin to depend on of the “meaning” of the data – where we begin to depend on the meaning of a second.

Where we make a viewer capable of viewing a certain type of object.

This is where we build things which make use of knowledge.

This layer will never be complete but it is a large focus of the coming months.

How to prioritize model exploration and development Focus on the following areas:

– Areas where we have or are building tools– Areas where we already have incoming data in

some format– Build the model through experiment based

deployment - solve real problems in an open way and see if (with some adaptation) the solutions apply more broadly (i.e. Minnesota )

Go Forward - Tools

Evaluate the ORST interface and use it to implement experiment-based interface to meta data repository

Investigate tools to represent structural data (like SAC data) Extend and improve viewers – publish API so that sites can

extend the viewers Improve notebook

– Single signon using CHEF/Grid credentials– Integration with Metadata– Smother integration with CHEF

Explore automated synchronized video and data capture and after-experiment replay of synchronized video and data (ORST UMinn)

Explore the capture of high quality still images as data (UMinn) Investigate adopting a data-editing tool (XMLSpy)

RDF Integration

Some of the data and meta data task force members are using Protégé-2000 to develop their models and expressing them in RDF.

RDF and NEESML are very similar but not identical so it may be challenging to ingest any arbitrary RDF

We expect that we will be able to map a subset of RDF to NEESML for ingestion or adapt an RDF parser (Jena or Raptor) to ingest that subset directly into the repository

Data Model Activities

Groups have been formed to develop coordinated models– Shake Table– Centrifuge– Tsunami– GeoTech

Gokhan Pekhan is organizing this effort Kincho / Jun / Jim pushed forward with a

RDF-Based Shake Table Model from Protege-2000 and developed software

Electronic Notebook

Collaborative effort with the DOE SciDAC– Electronic notebook - metadata entry– Data mapping– Data provenance– Data display– Slide data/metadata jakarta.apache.org/slide/

Ultimate integration will be via JSR-170 www.scidac.org/SAM/ collaboratory.emsl.pnl.gov/docs/collab/sam/samtechoverview.html

“Skunkworks” project

Data Turbine

Commercial, free data streaming toolkit

Data Turbine (cont)

Existing data viewers will be adapted to access and display data from data turbine

Data acquisition software will be adapted to place information in Data Turbine Channels

Metadata elements will be developed to represent data turbine live, stored, and derived channels

New efforts (video as data) will be developed from the ground up using Data Turbine

Tool List - To Do

Next release of repository Integrate ELN into repository DAQ Control Panel in CHEF

– Set/Retrieve Metadata– Start / Stop– Ingest data from staging space

Data Turbine Control Panel in CHEF– Start / Stop / Configure Sources

• Video | Audio | Data | Thumbnail– Control permanent storage of video

To Do (cont)

NTCP Debugging and Monitoring in CHEF– Needed Data Turbine

Data as Video Client Tools in CHEF– New Monitor Tool– Still Image– Camera Control

Data Turbine Audio Capture We may need to support XML Schema QuickTime Capabilities

– Archive, retrieve, slice, dice, convert, present– Probably will not be completed as part of SI effort

Data Model Work

Data Curation Summit– Understand issues form go-forward plan– Meeting 3/18/2004

Data and Metadata Task Force– Finish the tsunami and centrifuge models

DSAC Committee– Meeting 3/19/2004

Summary

In September 2003, we met and “re-visioned” data

A bunch of requirements gathering and development has been done– The “high risk” elements are working now

There is more to do - We will run out of time– Evolutionary development approach - there will

always be usable working code - we will stop when we run out of time
