2. LBA DIS WG Topics DIS Activities 2004-2005 Data Registration / Archive Status Data Registration status for EU and BR teams System Updates

3. Activities 2004-2005

4. Activities  Strengthening LBA offices H/S infrastructure  Beija-flor and Metadata Editor Training classes, Rio Branco-AC, Ji-Paraná-RO (Nov/2004) and Belém-PA (May/2005) – Next Manaus-AM (August/2005)  Converted all programs accessing MS SQL Server from.asp to.php  move towards migration to non- proprietary Operating System such as Linux.  LBA Web Page – Redesign and Mirror Sites

6. Activities  Integration of Reference Manage (LBAECO) with INPA’s Library System  Plan is on the way to install “The Scheduler” at LBA Central Office  LBA-DIS and SIPAM, setup meetings to plan Metadata Integration.  Data Registration (Status)

7. LBA Data Registration Status

8. LBA Overall Status: Metadata Registered in Beija-flor N=850 17.7% Increase in metadata data sets

9. LBA Overall Status: Data Volume Archived at LBA-DIS / CPTEC 52.9 % increase in data sets

10. LBA Component Status ConCon N=48 N=77 N=669 N=56

11. Data Registration Details 1- Substantial increase in data archived at the LBA-DIS server was mainly due to: * 44.9 Giga bytes : Landsat Orthorectified ETM+ data for the time period ca. 2000 * 3.2 Gbytes : Hyperion data * 2.63 Bbyes : PC-02 data 2- The emphasis has been on registering data sets over registering posters, per se. We are encouraging data providers to archive their posters and add them as supporting information to the metadata for the actual data to which they are related, rather than registering the posters as independent Beija-flor entries. This will result in a relatively small increase in the number of "Posters registered", compared to the volume of the storage under the /lba/posters

12. Data Registration/Archive Performance of EU and BR teams DIS group has fixed broken links of several metadata records. Contacted each of the non-contributing Brazilian and European/BR teams to acquire data; several teams already complied! Last email requesting data sent on May 06, 2005. Plan for next 6 months: Continue analysis of data in archive but not registered -- theory is that much of the “missing” EU/BR & BR data is archived but not registered

13. Data Archived but Not Registered Huge task in progress!! 1.Develop a method to cross-reference [hundreds of] data directories in archive with entries in Beija-flor 2.Record these findings in a “data tracking system” Link the B-f registered data sets with corresponding archive directories 3.Identify the archive directories that aren’t represented in Beija-flor – who? what? when? where? … 4.Register the “found” data

14. System Updates Disk space added to LBA server in July 2004; as of May 30, 2005 there are ZERO bytes available for new data. –In 2004 the LBA-DIS group @ CPTEC submitted the 2005 budget which included additional disk space for the LBA Server. –1 Terabyte of disk space was requested in January 2005 AFTER an extensive study of new technologies that could be used (DAS, EVA, NAS, SATA, etc). Several vendor called to CPTEC to check the LBA server and advise on disk storage hardware. –DVD with about 4.2 Gbytes received from LC-02 on May 18 will be put on-line when more storage becomes available. Also LC-02 data that was in the process of being submitted via FTP had to be stopped until more disk space becomes available.

15. 1- Email received by DIS on May 30, 2005 about new data coming to the LBA server via FTP 2- Email sent on May 30, 2005 3- Email from DIS asking the PI to stop sending data via FTP until more disk space becomes available (almost 4 Giga bytes received).

16. System Updates (cont) IAI has implemented a Beija-flor like system which is 100% compatible with LBA, thus allowing us to share data. LBA has a development site with IAI as a data sources. Renata, the LBA Data Coordinator person, resigned on May 6 because of a better job offer. Rosely Aparecida da Silva was hired on May 11 to replace Renata (5 candidates were interviewed).

17. System Updates (cont) CEOP updates: several LBA files have been posted in the CEOP site. BUT we are still behind sending the full set of CEOP3/4 data files.
