1st – TECO Demo - WIS Djibouti

1st – Technical PoC – Pub Sub

  1. Discussion about the winning pilot proposals
    1. SO – Maybe work on more than just WIS Djibouti?
    2. JT – could include Pub Sub and use scenarios for pilot/demo
    3. SO – Top 3 the same for TECO and Tech, provides solid foundation from which to work. Everyone ok with doing both and maybe include the Dashboard?
    4. LM – we should do Djibouti and Pub Sub, if we have time maybe work on the Dashboard.
    5. DW – I agree
    6. BS – Ok
    7. SO – Jeremy will add use cases for Pub Sub
    8. JT – ok Action-TC-2017-23 Add use cases for pub sub
    9. JT - Jeremy discusses his additions to OPP-6: WIS Djibouti
    10. JT – We want to make WIS accessible to as wide a community as possible. I’ve not tried to be too prescriptive, to allow us to experiment as we go through the pilot. We can play with AWS S3 buckets to put data on web server
    11. NM – Are we providing CSV packaging for users?
    12. JT – If trivial, maybe. But could use OpenOffice to play with CSV files or other tools available to Mouktar. The important part is that datasets are registered on the WIS, approved by the Djibouti Permanent Representative.
    13. JT – WIS 2.0 design should allow commercial search engines to find data. We could have the same process to harvest. Site maps are simpler – proven to work. The catalogue could be just a simple set of web pages. If you have large sets of data, it would be useful to enhance with search APIs. For the demos – Google may change things sometimes so use a recording of the demo to show working.
    14. JT – We need to flesh out Pub Sub and message queues a bit further.
    15. NM – Are message queues maintained by catalogue system?
    16. JT – Should there be some infrastructure, a deployment locally or in the cloud – to allow Mouktar to add data to a queue and Mariam to receive data?
    17. JT - Action-TC-2017-24 Provide link to Canadian MetPX site with AMQP
    18. BS – what is the difference for WIS 1.0 and OpenWIS?
    19. JT – ISO19195 metadata too complicated for publishers. Portals mainly used by those that know where to look. We need to reduce the infrastructure and make it easier – saves cost. Use a simple web architecture to get better uptake.
    20. SO – Use of standard data formats XML, JSON etc.
    21. JT – Leads to use of web services, therefore, simple rest based web services. If we can provide the components – makes users’ life easier, and helps data publisher to do a good job.
    22. NM – We can create a blueprint to capture what we need – then look at specific technology. We can then start allocating work to groups.
    23. SO – How long to do this?
    24. NM – Diagram can be made by next Tuesday (03/10/2017)
    25. JT – I will try and review this next week too.
    26. NM – We’ll use Jeremy’s narrative to create this.
