Time Table exchange QSAS / CL / CAA / AMDA CESR, 25/26 feb. 2008
We all use time as an ordering quantity Goals of this meeting 1/ Context - Define time tables : TT - Show the scientific interest of TT exchange (see use case presentation) - See how time is handled in our different systems 2/ Actions - Define a common TT format - Define an exchange protocole for communication between services / centres / tools - Define TT management tools : merge, intersect, extend, shift (SW) 3/ Perspectives Think beyond time tables : catalogues of statistical parametres (mean, max, min)
Time Table management with AMDA Automated Multi Dataset Analysis cdpp-amda.cesr.fr
What is AMDA ? • objectives • functionalities • How does the information circulate inside AMDA ? • parameters • TT • Communication between centres / services / tools • External data : CDAWeb, MAPSKP • CAA connexion demo
Objectives Ease manipulation of data from heterogeneous origins … Plot Combine Search Download Mission Instrument Resolution Local Remote User owned … for simple browse, building catalogues, performing statistics

The parameter level • A parameter is any time series : • magnetic or electric field vector • particles moments • indices • ... • combinations of the previous • valid on a given time range • at a given time resolution • used for : • - plotting • - searching • - downloading, ... 17/11/1994 31/12/2005 Sampling 4s The file organisation inside the archive is hidden to the user
New parameter contruction 1/2 define time resolution mouse clicks define parameter name supply description
New parameter contruction 2/2 • Parameters from • different missions • different instruments • with different time resolution • may be conbined Save new parameter in user workspace The newly constructed parameter is now an element of the database. It is computed on the fly only when it is needed (virtual object concept).
Tools are implemented : • ‘time shifting’ to account for time lag between instruments, • ‘resampling’ to account for resolution difference between instruments.
The Time Table level an easy way to communicate information between data centres/archives - Time tables, or event lists, are a collection of times when ‘something’ happens or time spans when some conditions are true. - They are usually manually created and managed by scientists for their own need or the one of restricted community. - AMDA enhances the potentialities of these objects by offering a generic tool to create, handle and communicate them between databases/archives and users. These time-tables may be used for : - extracting sub-databases, - executing massive and/or interactive treatments, - creating catalogues, - serving as reference in the community
Create a time table : 1- Conditional Search T/T// > 1 mouse clicks Edit a condition with mathematical operators/functions Define time span or use a time table
An example: search of the events when the cross-tail current is “encircled” by CLUSTER magnetic field magnetic field X coordinate Test: • X1< -10 Re • BX1 * BX2 * BX3 * BX4 > 0 • min([BX1 BX2 BX3 BX4]) < 0 • max([BX1 BX2 BX3 BX4]) > 0 Looking for the time periods when 2 s/c are above the neutral sheet and the 2 other ones are below
Create a time table : 2- Visual Inspection Record intervals of interest by mouse clicks
The time table may be edited in the user workspace
TT format Tables may be exported in VOTable format
VOTable latest release: Version 1.1 - August 11, 2004 VO standard and as such supported by IVOA VOTable is designed as a flexible storage and exchange format for tabular data, with particular emphasis on astronomical tables.
Complex tables (catalogues) may be produced : • with multiple time tags • associated parameters : average, max, min • geographic information • ...
