Content

The content in O2A can be distinct in metadata and data.

O2A components have been designed to provide solutions for managing the following types of content:

• Metadata on Metadata about platforms, devices and sensors are described in sensor.awi.de (see further information).  There is a chief editor concept, where experts for thematic topics or projects should care about metadata structure, quality and harmonization. Have a closer look to the description of the chief editor concept and / or write o2a-support@awi.de for help and feedback.
• Raw data  can be automatically collected from different sources with using ingest.awi.de and is  and stored in AWI's technical infrastructure as storage solution in the form of flat files or optional , if wished, in databases (see further information).  To allow automatic data processing, archiving, publication and provision in web services (e.g., dashboard, data web service, spatial data infrastructure), O2A uses defined adopts a pre-defined directory structures, stanardized standard data formats (simple data formats, spatial data formats) and basic quality flagging. Three types of data ingestion are distinguishedsupported:
  • automatic data ingestion in near-real - time data ingestionmode
  • automatic and central data ingestion in delayed-mode data ingestionmode 
  • manual data ingestion
• Primary data and data is products are derived from raw data. Scientific work can be self-managed in projects with using cloud.awi.de (will be open end of 2020). Our cloud supports custom provides access to user-tailored virtual machines and containers as well as a prepared pre-configured Jupyter Notebook environment at jupyterhub.awi.de. For long-term archiving and data publication of primary data go directly to PANGAEA PANGAEA is used.

• Is our chief editor concept really working????

Software development

In general our O2A software is open source, free of charge and may be re-used in other contexts. Our software is administrated in the gitlab.awi.de repository and you can find examples on github.com also. To foster and streamline software development we want to have one central managed code basis. All splitted branches for new features and bug fixes shall be finally merged into the central master branch aligned with Gitflow. The agile software development process for each O2A component is managed in 2-weekly sprints with jira-software.awi.de following SCRUM-based principles.
