ICIS

Current Situation

The ICIS VREVirtual Research Environment. is a complete data-management suit that exploits many of the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. technologies.

It allows the upload of data from a variety of sources (csv, workspace, SDMX), and offers many data management facilities for sorting, filtering, merging, etc. It also includes advanced work-flow support, with each modification captured as a 'metadata' type information. the resulting TimeSeries are rich objects, which can be:

  • geospatially explicit (georeferenced) and diplayed in an integrated MapViewer;
  • exported to an integrated R-environment;
  • saved and reused in the integrated reporting environment, such as in FCPPS;
  • etc.

An extensive description of the requirements is available through the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative.-II wiki: ICIS-Senario

ICIS is accessible throuh the portal if you have been provided with user credentials


The user-guide of ICIS is available here: guide

SPREAD

The SPatial REallocation of Aquatic Data (SPREAD) aims to provide the movement of geospatial explicit data from one resolution to another.

The Use Cases were already descibed in D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative.-II, and can be found under the Advanced Curation Use Case.

It was included there, because in the context of D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative.-II, the starting point for a re-allocation is a TS-Object, and the re-allocation was perceived as a precision of geospatial location of a reported capture without much reasoning or change of the reported values; an advanced type of curation.

A progress report on SPREAD accomplishments and opportunities can be found on BSCW (SPREAD120207.docx).

OpenSDMX

An important feature of ICIS is the growing support of parts of the SDMX standard. To foster a community development effort, FAO initiated the OpenSDMX initiative. For current requirement, read more on the Cluster page for OpenSDMX.

Features supporting OpenSDMX are expected to be made available through the ICIS, CodeListManager and CodelistMapper VREs.

ICIS VREVirtual Research Environment.

Product

Describe the proposed solution in maximum 3 sentences:

With ICIS capture time-series can be:

  1. Ingested
  2. Curated
  3. Validated with a rule frame

After the Time-series has been produced, it can be

  1. Manipulated with a DML facility
  2. Merged with previous / other TS
  3. Mapped in a geoexplorer
  4. Analyzed
  5. Shared and published

Priority to CoPCommunity of Practice.

List proposed solution priority following the iMarine Board priority setting criteria:

  • Identified community: Users now:
  • Potential for co-funding:
  • Structural allocation of resources:
  • Referred in DoW:
  • Business Cases:
  • How does the proposed action generally support sustainability aspects
  • How consistent it is with EC regulations/strategies (eg INSPIRE, ... ):
  • Re-usability – benefits – compatibility

Parentage

Relation to CoPCommunity of Practice. Software Relation to D4S technologies

Does the proposed solution solve other problems associated with EA-CoPCommunity of Practice. Business Cases?

If the proposed solution can be used in another SW scenario (not users!) please describe.

Public

How big is the expected user community after delivery?

Productivity

Are the proposed measures effective?

Does it reduce a known workload?

Price

Is the proposed solution cheap?

Expected effort in PM:

Presentation

How is the component delivered to users? (Design / on-line help / training material / support).

Privacy

Are they safe? Need the proposed solution to manage confidential info at data / dataset / organizational level? Describe security and privacy issues:

Policy

Are there any policies available that describe data access and sharing? Are these really needed? Copyright / attribution / metadata / legal

Perils

Do they introduce moral hazard? (A hazard here is the risk that users will behave more recklessly if they are insulated from the effects of the software, or if they do noit understand what it produces, where data come from, what they represent etc. .)
