Meeting with EURO-ARGO

Tuesday 14 May 2013, 14:00 → 16:00 Europe/Amsterdam

First meeting of EGI ENVRI Study Case with EURO-ARGO (Thierry Carval).

A study case was set up to identify existing services and solutions from EGI that could address the data pre-processing, post-processing, publishing needs of these two ESFRI projects. The outcome of the pilot is expected to be directly applicable to EISCAT_3D and EURO-ARGO, and indirectly by other ESFRIs of ENVRI. In cooperation with EISCAT-3D and EURO-ARGO representatives in ENVRI, EGI.eu will try to find best suitable solutions for data pre-processing of primary data and post-processing toward publishing.

Participants:
* Thierry Carval (EURO-ARGO)
* Jerome Detoc (EURO-ARGO)
* Malgorzata Krakowian (EGI.eu)
* Gergely Sipos (EGI.eu)

Outcome:
Prepare a short document that outlines the scope of the EURO-ARGO - EGI collaboration. The document would be used by EGI and by EURO-ARGO to invite contributors into the collaboration (NGIs, institutes)
Key points in the document:
* EURO-ARGO architecture and interfaces to interact with the data.
* The collaboration would make the archive searchable by
1. moving the data to EGI storages (grid or cloud?)
2. registering the data into EGI file catalogues and metadata services
* Advertisement of the data to potentially interested EGI user communities

Todo for Thierry and Jerome :

1. Create the first draft of the document, then circulate the document to EGI.
