Young Researchers SymposiumOregon, August 11 2006 Alternative access to NEEScentral: Use Without a Web Browser Jeremy Coleman (jeremy.coleman4832@gmail.com) NEESreu@NEESit http://it.nees.org
Overview of NEEScentral Basic usage through GUI Synopsis of programming languages Web Services, MatLab, Shell Scripting Basis of work Progress thus far and ultimate goals Presentation Outline
Cyberinfrastructure backbone of NEES Delivers information technology tools and infrastructure for Earthquake research Maintains NEEScentral and provides direction for development and improvement NEESit
Central database for earthquake/tsunami community Hierarchical listing of projects -> experiments -> trials -> and repetitions Composed of Experimental and Computational data as well as meta-data Accessed primarily through web browser What is NEEScentral
Available to research community https://central.nees.org/api/web_services.php Perform services within NEEScentral Login, logout, file transfer etc. URL based calls Modular format Theoretically accessible to any language supporting URL calls NEEScentral’s Web Services
Shell Scripts Command prompt based Login, logout, XML parsing MatLab Runs shell scripts Can run UNIX based commands Extensive data analysis Alternate Platforms
Why Matlab Convenient to researcher Runs Unix based applications Enhances usability of NEEScentral Progress in MatLab Script conversions File access and manipulation No file upload Progress Thus Far
Increase convenience of MatLab calls M files Bulk upload Metadata upload with primer files Raw data upload with pattern matching Must begin working with raw data Incorporate more web services Decided what services are suited for Matlab/Unix Future Work
