  1. NEESgrid Data Effort Jean-Pierre Bardet, Amr Elnashai, Charles Severance, Joe Futrelle

  2. Goals • Data is online and persistent • Data and Metadata are supported together • Data migrates transparently including security, and metadata • Data is completely secure with access controls but security does not get in the way • Data provenance - how was it gathered, how has it been manipulated? • Data in support of research publication • Support for repeatable experiments • Data oriented research computation support • Support for workflow

  3. Data Meta Data Gathering Extracting Repository Mapping Vision: data on the Grid studies

  4. Objectives of Data Effort in NEESgrid through 09/04 • Develop deploy and extend the NEESgrid toolset • Educate community on the tools and how to use the tools • Work with sites to help in the adoption and localization of the NEESgrid toolset • Work with the community to define and implement a basic NEES-wide data model to enable some basic sharing - much of this will be based on adopting existing work.

  5. NEESgrid Data – Core Elements • Local Repository • Central Repository • JAVA APIs – Run locally on the same system as a repository or over OGSA Web Services • NEES File Management Services • NEES Meta Data Services • Data Viewers • Streaming (numeric, X/Y graph) • Stored (X/Y graph, 2-D structure, video)

  6. Core Elements Data Acquisition NEESpop Data/MD Ingest Tools API Local Repository Grid and Web Services Data Teamlets API Workstation NEESdata Data tools Central Repository Data Teamlets API Data viewers

  7. NEESgrid Data – Technologies • Grid • GRIDFTP is used for data transport • Grid Web Services are used to insure security and provide access control between systems over the Internet – also provide for credential passthrough • Grid credentials are used as part of login providing a single sign-on framework • CHEF • Provides a flexible mechanism for deploying GUI tools like the data viewers and data browsers.

  12. Oregon State: Experiment Based Deployment looking at Synchronized Video

  13. An LED was added to be visible in the video frame which was connected to a button which would signal the “start of the experiment” (1) This signal was also patched into the DAQ (channel 15) (2) A person was stationed at the DAQ and at the video camera to manually start both processes. (3) Both DAQ and Video capture were manually started about 10 seconds before experiment start. The experiment was run for about 20 seconds at which time both the video and data acquisition were manually stopped Done using NEESgrid 2.0 beta without any changes Experiment Setup 2 DAQ 3 1 3

  16. NEES Metadata Effort • NEES Markup Language (NEESML) • Provides an RDF-like structure capable of representing semantic information • XML is the syntax which is used • Logic is more “object oriented” • Can define objects • Can create objects • Can reference objects • Meta data is many different things…. • Goal if we EVER want to build reusable data tools, we have to represent the semantics inside the meta data rather than just the information

  17. Which one is Semantic Metadata and Why? <stuff> <sensor-info> <manufactured-by>phillips </manufactured-by> <owner>phillips</owner> <which-beam>second </which-beam> </sensor-info> <nees-experiment> <time-step>0.13</time-step> <time-step-unit>second </time-step-unit> <pi-name>phillips</pi-name> </nees-experiment> </stuff> <stuff> <person id=“68”> <title string=“phillips”> </person> <unit id=“second”> <title string=“second”/> </unit> <sensor-info> <manufactured-by string=“phillips”> <owner id=“68”/> <which-beam string=“second”> <width double=“0.13”> </sensor-info> <nees-experiment> <time-step double=“0.13” unit=“second”/> <pi id=“68”> </nees-experiment> </stuff>

  18. Instant Tutorial: Semantics / RDF • This is an XML document. We can do some things with this document like ask the following questions: • What string is the “which-beam” attribute of “sensor-info” • Does this document meet the syntax requirememts of a DTD (i.e. does it contain “compile”?) • That is it. There are some unanswered questions: • What does “phillips” mean? • What does “second” mean? • With enough effort, we could write software which made intelligent choices about the meaning of the elements in each of these two “sub-document types”. Effectively, to build “knowledge” from data, software must evolve which “understands” each new document type. <stuff> <sensor-info> <manufactured-by>phillips </manufactured-by> <owner>phillips</owner> <which-beam>second </which-beam> </sensor-info> <nees-experiment> <time-step>0.13</time-step> <time-step-unit>second </time-step-unit> <pi-name>phillips</pi-name> </nees-experiment> </stuff>

  19. type: sensor-info man: phillips owner: which-beam: Second width: 45.33 type: nees-experiment time-step: 0.13 pi: Instant Tutorial: Semantic Information <stuff> <person id=“68”> <title string=“phillips”> </person> <unit id=“second”> <title string=“second”/> </unit> <sensor-info> <manufactured-by string=“phillips”> <owner id=“68”/> <which-beam string=“second”> <width double=“0.13”> </sensor-info> <nees-experiment> <time-step double=“0.13” unit=“second”/> <pi id=“68”> </nees-experiment> </stuff> This is a semantic (or at least “more” semantic” document. It is best represented by a picture. Instead of thinking of things as strings and having to parse lots of documents, we can learn about seconds and then we can build components which understand “seconds” or “people” and ALWAYS know when to use those components. To “understand” a new “object type”, software must only understand the new elements introduced in that document type. Important: Semantic representation of information is necessary but not sufficient for understanding. Type: Unit title:second type: Person title:chuck

  20. Links can encode semantic structure

  21. Tools are coded so as to “understand” a particular semantic structure – this becomes “meaning” and something useful

  22. Data Metadata The Slide There is a layer is where we develop tools which take advantage and begin to depend on of the “meaning” of the data – where we begin to depend on the meaning of a second. Where we make a viewer capable of viewing a certain type of object. This is where we build things which make use of knowledge. This layer will never be complete but it is a large focus of the coming months. Data Ingestors Search Data Mappers Concepts Data Viewers

  24. Evolution of Data Technologies Formats/Representation Concepts Storage Data Presentation Relations Objects Data Models NEESml RDF/XML CSS/DHTML RDBMS Data Dictionaries Validation XML HTML Flat File SGML

  25. Relational DBs versus RDF-Style Stores • Both are ways to implement a relation-oriented data model • RDBMS – style repository • DBA “implements” data relationships and tunes important relationships for high performance • Able to handle very large amounts of data with proper tuning • Not flexible – a new relationship requires DBS intervention • Query performance depends on building joins which exploit the hard-coded relationships • Ideal in a high-transaction load environment • RDF – style repository • Relations are not determined a prioiri • Data model can be easily extended by any user as they insert data into the store • Ideal for an archival situation where transaction performance is not critical the ultimate use of data is not fully known in advance • Allows flexibility and change over time – can always put in new models and then develop mappings for • Ideal for a situation where data may need to migrate between repositories

  26. RDF/XML Versus NEESML • NEESml is topologically equivalent to RDF but more straightforward to use • A compromise between usability and functionality • Focused on solving the problems of ingesting types and data – rather than “cross-server ontology webs” • Used to build a reference set of ingestion tools • RDF is a moving target • Repository does not store either RDF or NEESML – It is an relational database tuned to store “three-tuples”

  27. NEESgrid Data - Value Proposition • An RDF like store – Referential integrity long-term flexibility • Seamless data and meta data transport • Smooth integration of data with meta data • Cool set of extensible tools • Willingness to support efforts to adapt and/or build new tools • Data tools • Metadata tools • Data Viewer (s)

  28. (lots of) Directions • In the past 45 days – we have gotten a lot of input on data directions • Form swat teams of interested site to build consensus (Data workshop) • Investigate the ORST model and other models looking for low hanging fruit (NEESgrid summit) • Coordinate with the Consortium data committee (EAB Meeting) • These are all good ideas – we need to do them all – I would prefer that they are one effort for a while • We will discuss plans in the second meeting – I would like “one” direction – at least on the model

  29. General Go Forward Plan on Technical Elements • Two words: “Experiment-Based Deployment” • Invest effort where sites are ready to produce results • Core SI team will focus on documenting and hardening the NEESgrid software • EBD team will bring well-understood requirements back to the Core SI team • Liason with other data efforts for best practice • GriPhyn – Physics data effort (Grid based automated storage and workflow) • CMCS – Chemistry collaboration (notebook, automated mapping, and provenance) • Engage sites between releases who have skills that can help – discuss@neesgrid.org

  30. Go Forward – Core Elements • Investigate RDF and its relationship to NEESML • Investigate provenance – would like to adopt from another project • Investigate mapping – Would like to adopt from another project • Making notebook information available as metadata

  31. Go Forward - Tools • Evaluate the ORST interface and use it to implement experiment-based interface to meta data repository • Extend and improve viewers – publish API so that sites can extend the viewers • Improve notebook • Single signon using CHEF/Grid credentials • Integration with Metadata • Smother integration with CHEF • Explore synchronized video and data capture using DAQ and after-experiment replay of synchronized video and data (ORST UMinn) • Explore the capture of high quality still images as data (UMinn) • Investigate adopting a data-editing tool (XMLSpy)

  32. Go Forward – Data “Dictionary” • Analyze the ORST model, determine core, convert to NEESML, pre-populate repositories with types, and develop usage documentation • Form core group between SI, ES, and CS to push data model issues forward – once groundwork is better defined – we can disperse into distributed teams • Use experiment based deployment to help us encounter new data needs over time

  40. Release 2.1 Data AspectsDecember 2003 • NEESpop • Notebook to metadata repository connection made • Closer integration of notebook into CHEF • First release of experiment tool (based on ORST) • Retool data viewers to be completely driven by Metadata objects rather than their own objects • More fine grained access control • Enhanced data models • Tools • Ingestion tools released • A limited set of pre-release video/image tools

  41. Further releases • Release 2.2 – March 04 • Driven by your needs as we encounter them • Perhaps some “nice to haves” from the SI team • Release 3.0 – June 04 • Very limited new functionality – maybe almost nothing new in the core components of the NEESpop

  43. Detailed Session • Amr Elnashai and JP Bardet will lead • Discussion of Metadata used in MOST and the SAC data sets • Discussion of Cosmos, SensorML, and the ORST model • Discussion of the effort on the ORST data model to date • Discussion of the ORST IT tool and how to get its functionality into NEESgrid • Discussion of the relationship between Consortium DSAC and SI data effort

  44. Summary • Once NEESpop 2.0 is released, we will have a powerful set of data tools that the sites could take and use out of the box. • Experiment based deployment says that the SI team will work hand-in-hand with EBD sites to use the tools • This will identify new needs and requirements over the next year • The SI team will extend the NEESpop (2.1, 2.2, and 3.0) within resource constraints • This is really starting to be fun
