Hey Ian, +1 to your suggestion. I have a couple of use cases from NASA that I think we can build around. Here's a stream of consciousness from the oceans world:
1. for all GODAE High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) data from NOAA's National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC): * get the data (maybe use OODT) * extract out the metadata from the files (maybe use Tika for this, will need HDF/netCDF extractors, which aren't currently there) * compute equator crossing point from orbital swath parameters (use SIS distance, projection functions for this, and lookup the orbital parameters somewhere) * compute lat/lon from equator crossing point using SIS * use SIS to output, for each GHRSST granule (100s of thousands-millions), a JSON .met file (or XML .met file) containing the granule name and its lat/lon that defines the lat/lon for all points in time for the orbital swath defined by each GRHSST granule If we can build SIS so that it supports that use case, that would definitely help... The Twitter account is up: http://twitter.com/apache_sis/ Cheers, Chris On 3/19/10 12:51 PM, "Ian Holsman" <[email protected]> wrote: I'm here as well. can I make a suggestion. then while we are building up the framework, we also build a "semi-serious" application that uses it alongside the framework. this might help new developers come up to speed with how to use the framework and in-turn will start using it more. probably should also set up a twitter account to post announcements/minor achievements on as well. (also helps to get the message out there).
