Overview

The user can upload individual OIFITS files and create a collection of their granules.

Data extraction

The user provides either URL to OIFITS file hosted on a public Web server or upload files.

Data mapping

Granules are extracted from OIFITS files by OIFitsViewer and completed by data from the collection they are to be associated with.

• each granule

calib_level 2 or 3 obs_creator_name to current user or first author if article keywords to keywords (space separated?) obs_collection to new collection ID obs_release_date to article publication date bib_reference from the article bibcode

L3 are public

L2 with optional restriction

• the user can add restrictions to the availability of the uploaded data (TODO)

• all granule are public with no access limitation to the OIFITS files.

• the granule is associated with a collection named after the catalog designation (obs_collection)
• the calibration level is set the to 3 (calib_level)
• the creator name (obs_creator_name) is set with the name of the first author from the catalog description
• the release date (obs_release_date) is set to the last modification date of the catalog (last line in the catalog description)
• the bibliographic reference (bib_reference) is set to the bibcode of the first paper in the catalog description

A collection have the following content:

• a short name
• a title
• a description as a short text
• dependending on the calibration level:
  • a set of user selected keywords (calib_level = 2)
  • an article identified by its bibcode with more data from ADS (calib_level = 3)

A collection must have at least a name and a title.

Usage

From the OiDB Submit new data, the user chooses the calibration level of the data to process: L2 for calibrated data and L3 for calibrated and published data.

The form and validation rules change with the calibration level.

Calibration level 2:

• creation of a collection is optional.
• the collection has no associated article.
• the user can attach a set of up to 6 keywords to the collection.
• the user can add restriction to the availability of the uploaded data (TODO).

Calibration level 3:

• creation of a collection is mandatory (TODO).
• the user has to provide at least one reference to an article through its bibcode (the abstract of the article may or may not be available at ADS).
• the keywords of the collection are taken from the keywords of the article abstract.

The user can add individual OIFITS files:

• the file are either downloaded from a public Web server
• or from a local file that is uploaded to the service

Uploaded files are saved in a staging area within OiDB.

If the user requested the creation of a collection, a new XML collection document is built with the data from the upper form and uploaded to the server.

Notes

The uploaded files are stored on the OiDB server in a staging area.

The validation of target, instrument and instrument mode is not enforced.

The form for uploading individual OIFITS is very similar to the form for importing VizieR catalog.
