NGCHC Metadata Catalog Architecture • Current Search & Discover Mechanisms: • Portal Search Box – free text, keywords, etc. • Service API – useful for automated tools • Parse search results for url to use the output file • Ingested metadata are automatically standardized • Standard metadata can be downloaded • Manual or Automatic Ingest: • Upload FGDC files – Sulis • Enter information about outputs – Simulocean • Entry Forms • Simple clients for ingest service API http://www.ngchc.org
NGCHC Metadata Catalog Interface http://www.ngchc.org
NGCHC Metadata Catalog Significance - central catalog for distributed systems of model outputs and products - indexed for search and discover - standardized – automated use by tools (FGDC/ISO/CSW) - web interface, programmatic interface - upload already existing files Ongoing Development - integration with DEM and ASGS holdings - automated metadata extraction and publishing for Globus Online holdings - common visualization interface for all catalog holdings Implications to simulation management systems and NGCHC - help capture the end to end experiment along with the portal - metadata provenance for inputs/outputs/intermediate files used or generated during simulations and model runs http://www.ngchc.org
