Large-scale (meta)Data Aggregators & Infrastructure Requirements the case of agriculture Nikos Manouselis Agro-Know Technologies & ARIADNE Foundation nikosm@ieee.org @eAGE 2012, Dubai, 13/12/12
2
Publications, theses, reports, other grey literature Educational material and content, courseware Primary data: – Structured, e.g. datasets as tables – Digitized : images, videos, etc. Secondary data (elaborations, e.g. a dendogram) Provenance information, incl. authors, their organizations and projects Experimental protocos & methods Social data, tags, ratings, etc. (agricultural) research data

aim is: promoting data sharing and consumption related to any research activity aimed at improving productivity and quality of crops ICT for computing, connectivity, storage, instrumentation data infrastructure for agriculture

Publisher DateCatalog Subject ID Author Title we actually share metadata
9
e.g. an educational resource
10
…metadata reflect the context
11
…sometimes, data also included
12
metadata aggregations concerns viewing merged collections of metadata records from different sources useful: when access to specific supersets or subsets of networked collections – records actually stored at aggregator – or queries distributed at virtually aggregated collections 12
13
typically look like this 13 Ternier et al., 2010
14
typical problem: computing
15
typical problem: hosting
16
an ideal scenario
17
Data provider in need of hosting & storage of small- scale CMS sets up own CMS instance Data provider in need of large scale hosting & replication CMS requests space/accounts in large-scale CMS Data provider hosting CMS at own or external/commercial infrastructure interested to expose (meta)data to e- infrastructure register as data source hosted over cloud computed over grid
18
shares (meta)data e.g. through OAI-PMH indexed & available through CIARD RING shares (meta)data e.g. through OAI-PMH (META)DATA AGGREGATOR supported by scientific gateway computed & hosted over agINFRA grid/cloud computed over grid & hosted over cloud
19
computed over grid computed over grid & hosted over cloud …
20
its all about efficient metadata management storage issues: where components are hosted, how metadata aggregations & their versions handled/stored, scaling up computing issues: harvesting takes time/resources and needs to be invoked often, automatic tagging tasks demanding often recurring, similar workflows are needed (validate, transform, harvest, auto-tag, index) overall need
21
why should you care?
22
promoting course descriptions 22 push course information to various syndication/aggregation sites to allow users discover them – OCW search engine (http://www.ocwsearch.com)http://www.ocwsearch.com – Moodle Hub concept (hub.moodle.org)
23
including relevant content 23 allow course creator/author to find relevant material and resources to enrich course – Europeana ingestion widget (http://wiki.agroknow.gr/agroknow/index.php/Hack4Euro pe_2012)http://wiki.agroknow.gr/agroknow/index.php/Hack4Euro pe_2012 suggest to learners additional courses and material relevant to what they access – Eummenas Moodle Widget (http://www.eummena.org/index.php/labs)http://www.eummena.org/index.php/labs
24
developing more end-user services 24 Web portals to support user communities (e.g. thematic, geographical, social, cultural) – MACE portal (http://portal.mace-project.eu)http://portal.mace-project.eu – Photodentro Greek school collections portal (http://photodentro.edu.gr)http://photodentro.edu.gr – VOA3R social platform for researchers (http://voa3r.cc.uah.es)http://voa3r.cc.uah.es

wrap up
26
(META)DATA AGGREGATOR
27
considerations easily replicated cloud-hosted software applications (e.g. DSPACE instances) portal/service owners and software developers to use the infrastructure as a basis power up existing data & service networks
