General Project Information
- Leader: Malgorzata Krakowian (malgorzata.krakowian @ egi.eu)
- Start Date: 1.02.2013
- End Date:
- Meetings: Indico page (slides and minutes from meetings)
Motivation
A study case was set up to identify existing services and solutions from EGI that could address the data pre-processing, post-processing, publishing needs of these two ESFRI projects. The outcome of the pilot is expected to be directly applicable to EISCAT_3D and EURO-ARGO, and indirectly by other ESFRIs of ENVRI. In cooperation with EISCAT-3D and EURO-ARGO representatives in ENVRI, EGI.eu will try to find best suitable solutions for data pre-processing of primary data and post-processing toward publishing.

Progress
EISCAT-3D
A short document will be prepared that outlines the scope of the EISCAT_3D - EGI collaboration. The document would be used by EGI and by EISCAT_3D to invite contributors into the collaboration (NGIs, institutes)
Key points in the document:
- EISCAT archive includes 60TB of correlated data collected during 1981-2013. There are interfaces to interact with the data but the data is not searchable.
- The collaboration would make the archive searchable by:
1. moving the data to EGI storages (grid or cloud to be decided later)
2. registering the data into EGI file catalogues and metadata services
3. studying, identifying and - if feasible - implementing data mirroring and indexing strategies that would suit to the envisaged processing strategies of EISCAT_3D. The studies could cover areas such as use of Hadoop or other big-data technologies on EGI.
Euro-ARGO
A short document will be prepared that outlines the scope of the EURO-ARGO - EGI collaboration. The document would be used by EGI and by EURO-ARGO to invite contributors into the collaboration (NGIs, institutes) Key points in the document:
- EURO-ARGO architecture and interfaces to interact with the data.
- The collaboration would make the archive searchable by
- moving the data to EGI storages (grid or cloud?)
- registering the data into EGI file catalogues and metadata services
- Advertisement of the data to potentially interested EGI user communities
Todo for Thierry and Jerome :
- Create the first draft of the document, then circulate the document to EGI.
