  1. DIAL Update Doug Ilg Raytheon ITSS Doug.Ilg@gsfc.nasa.gov HDF-EOS Workshop III September 14, 1999

  2. Background • NRC report recommended broader distribution of EOSDIS functionality • Small scale data producers wanted easy-to-use, yet powerful data distribution method • Many data producers have very tiny budgets

  3. Basic Design Goals • A turn-key data distribution system that: • Promotes EOSDIS standards • Administrator • Low (no) cost • No licensing difficulties • Easy maintenance • User • Easy to use • Catalog search • Dynamic browsing • Easy data retrieval

  4. Building Blocks • Public domain, off-the-shelf (PDOTS) components • Apache WWW server • NCSA Scientific Data Browser • Custom CGI • Search engine with HTML and Java interfaces • Basic visualization for browse purposes • Home grown “database” • JDBC interface • Free Web browsers

  5. “Classic” Features • Hybrid interface including HTML, Java, JavaScript • Simple, configurable metadata search • Spatial/temporal/other • Basic visualization of HDF and HDF-EOS files • HTML for structural information • GIF for browse imagery • Immediate data download • HDF/ASCII/binary • Inventory support • Custom “flat file” • JDBC

  6. “New” Features • Animation • Coastline and political boundary overlays • Color compositing for multi-band images • Cross-granule subsetting and subsampling • Support for Version 0 protocol

  7. V0 Interoperability Results • Very successful demonstration at GOIN99 • Used as basis for ESIP Federation “cluster” • Accepted as component of “System Wide Interface Layer” for Federation • Remaining problems: • V0 is only supported on Sun and SGI • Seen as old technology • CIP is still in flux
