1. “curator” DB design Curator meeting, GFDL, Sep 20

2. 2 Why RDBMS  A lot of information:  Model metadata  Experiments metadata  Institution/user metadata  Data metadata  Mostly it’s in textual form  Information is internally linked tightly that can be easy to express by means of relational databases.  Relational databases have well developed means for searching and extracting procedures (SQL query language and program interfaces for any language) as for local as well as for remote user.  Very reliable, safety technology. Curator meeting, GFDL, Sep 20

3. 3 Desirable Features of Model Data Factory  Relational Database storing metadata, containing description of  model components and model configuration  scenarios  postprocessing (model output and CMOR) directives  experiments  variables  formalized rules of Quality Control  data locations  task scheduler  users and groups accounts  XML as data exchange format  for compliance with FRE  working format of existing third party software  good fitted for hierarchical metadata description  prevalent in world, easy to exchange with others Data Portals  Model Builder (FMS Runtime Environment in GFDL)  checks out available model components from DB  chooses model datasets from DB  sets postprocessing directives  checks components and configurations compatibility  builds executable application and runs it  write metadata about experiment into DB (model configuration, scenario, project, organization/user, postprocessing) Curator meeting, GFDL, Sep 20

4. 4 Desirable Features of Model Data Factory (continue)  Climate Model Output Rewriter (CMOR) subsystem  prepares data consistently with specific project requirements  Data Publisher  transfer data to Data Portal storage in accordance to settings from DB  Data Portal Software Package  Configuration Manager (configures Aggregation Server and Data Portal Interface)  Search Catalog Engine  Data Subsampling Engine  Data Computation Engine  Data Visualization  Data Delivery Manager Curator meeting, GFDL, Sep 20

5. 5 Standard scenario of functioning Model Data Factory (ideal picture)  Scientist builds model in FRE using available model components, datasets and forcing scenario.  FRE puts metadata about built model, scenario, experiment into “curator” DB and runs experiment;  Postprocessing subsystem extracts metadata about postprocessing plan from “curator” DB and executes it, and on finish puts metadata about processed experiment back into DB.  Data Publisher (DP) regularly checks “curator” DB for new experiments marked as “public” and if finds any invokes CMOR.  CMOR goes to “curator” DB for metadata and processes needed data following metadata instructions.  DP calls QAC and then transfers data to Data Portal storage.  Configuration Manager configures Aggregation Server and Data Portal Interface and puts records about new public data in “curator” DB.  End of process, data is ready to go.

19. 19 Future Development  Bring DB terms to conventional terminology.  Set up model metadata schema standards and create tables in “curator” DB following this schema.  Fill these tables with real metadata extracted from models of GFDL, CCSM, MIT and from ESMF Component Database.  Implement tables for observation data metadata.  Implement DODS aggregated data support.  Build XML bridge for XML transcoding DB input/output Curator meeting, GFDL, Sep 20
