Discussion on the activities performed

Andrea : CERN worked mainly in the installation and testing of the FTS service, in order to understand if fits the needs for a possible integration in gCube to implement gCube Data Transfer.

Fabrice : Terradue started to work in the activity of publication of Geospatial data using the netCDF format. The Thredds software has been deployed in order to enable netCDF file transferring using Openndap and WCSWeb Coverage Service. Francesco is testing the solution using the data from MyOcean.

Fabrice : Thredds can be seen as a cache of data from MyOcean, to be copied into Thredds at the first request. But we need to understand how to discover this data, if the data is available or not.

Andrea : This activity has to be accounted officially to Data Access than to Data Transfer

Fabrice : In order to understand how to exploit the OGF transfer protocol we need fist to install the enabling software, as to test FTP Protocol we need to install a FTP Server. The Activity is the starting point for to fulfill the common goal of accessing and transferring OGF data.

Andrea : What about the integration of the output from Thredds into the gCube CM?

Gianpaolo : there is a need by the communities to publish netCDF file into the infrastructure, to have them integrated at the level of the infrastructure using standards. So the integration with CM can be lowered, and can be discussed during the WP9 phone conference of Friday.

Discussion on short term activities

Andrea: i have studied the possibility to extend gRS to use HTTP and FTP as transfer protocol, if feasible this would be integrated in the gCube Data Transfer agents in order to enable Data transfer between different CMs.

Gerasimos : gRS can be used to work on the data transfer part. Transfer point to point, payload object, file transfer in file chunking, stream. the transfer protocol is tcp, can be changed to use http, ftp, bittorrent There would be the possibility to store transfer buffers in ftp, or http. Alex will work on this activity this month.

Fabrice : Terradue will continue to work on Thredds, testing data coming from MyOcean

Andrea : CERN is going to continue the investigation on the FTS service giving a final outcome weather using the service or not at the beginning of february.


AOB

Giampaolo Coro: question to Terradue: it's possible to integrate the software to access MyOcean in the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. infrastructure?

Fabrice : Yes of course

Next conf call

to be scheduled middle/end of the February.
