Hi Guys,
Nice for some people to chime up 2 days before the deadline! ;)
Christopher, its some very interesting points you raise, and partly
where I struggle I think.
Coming from an Business Intelligence ETL world where you suck data from
data source and pump it into target b on a scheduled basis it takes
quite a large shift in thinking as to where applying OODT in a non
science world is tricky, for me at least.
Anyway as Sean says, businesses use metadata all over the place, I'll
have a think and come up with some dummy use cases in day to day use, if
anyone has some real world "non science" examples of how OODT helped
them, I'd be very interested in hearing them.
Thanks
Tom

One of the more difficult things for me trying to sell OODT was espousing
why it's useful for structured processes whether they be government
initiated protocols for data handling or workflow handling of that data. In
some cases I'm dealing with large data sets that exist in things like
excel, word, or some other unstructured crazy format. So part of the
problem is social and dealing with researchers outside of the science
paradigm whom aren't readily used to processing or extracting information
from their data in that way.
I think it's a great idea that would give an immediate visually accessible
way of how it's useful for data sets not-related to science alone.

So I saw the call go out that they were short of applications and it got
me thinking once again.
My issue with Apache OODT is the fact currently a load of science bods use
it (no offence ;) ) and the stuff you see written about and presented
whilst a) is cool as hell b) lacks day to day "real world" applications for
non scientists because if people do use it for non science applications,
its not publicised very well which is where I want to try and advocate
OODT....
But with my current clients don't have an obvious use case, but there must
be a bunch if I sit down and think about them, so I was thinking about
pitching a talk along the lines of
"Utilising the power of Apache OODT with mainstream Business
Intelligence tools"
Where I can discuss a few real world scenarios and I was thinking I
could demonstrate OODT integration with Pentaho Data
Integration(Apache Licensed) using ETL to control ingestion and use
Pentaho Data Integration to query and extract data from the Catalog.
I could also use the Pentaho BI server to create a Dashboard
framework to display relevant OODT information and as an alternative
ingestion platform to the default File manager.
Clearly non of this is yet written and I guess I'd write it if the talk
got accepted and I got my fellow colleagues to help sponsor the trip, but i
thought the idea was worth putting out there to garner feedback from the
development community.
Thoughts on a postcard please.
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
I was thinking of submitting one on the use of Apache OODT
in the Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) project at JPL. or on
the Wicket-based web interfaces. Do you have any ideas of what
to submit?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi folks,
Just a quick query. I was wondering if any OODT developers were planning
to submit any talk proposals into ApacheCon?
Thanks
Tom
