On June 9th, Patrick and I met up at RPI to discuss presentation strategies for provenance records in OPeNDAP.ย When provenance for an OPeNDAP data product is exposed, two things will regularly be present: references to specific OPeNDAP modules and their contributors.ย Therefore, providing a consumer access to this information could be helpful in facilitating provenance interpretation.
Using information from OPeNDAPโs SVN code repository, a listing of OPeNDAP modules and contributors was compiled along with a partial set of the following metadata:
Module:
– SVN trunk root
– SVN tag roots
– Description
Contributors:
– Name
– SVN username
– Website
– Development role
Using this information, a set of mockups will be developed in the following week for a web-based service for presenting provenance records.
