The software developed by the DataNet Federation Consortium is available as open source distributions from the participating partners. The software systems include:
iRODS integrated Rule Oriented Data System (irods.org/download/installation/)
iRODS extensions to support DFC cyberinfrastructure (Release Notes)
Some of the features provided by the iRODS 4.1 release were developed by the DataNet Federation Consortium, NSF grant #0940841 “DataNet Federation Consortium”. The features included:
- Pluggable rule engine
- DataONE integration
- Fuse optimization
- Cyberduck integration
- REST interface
- iRODS Cloud Browser
- Pluggable authentication modules
- Time-to-live enforcement on authentication proxy (.auth files)
- NetCDF routines
- Routines to support archiving of sensor data streams
- Micro-services for invoking web service
- Policy for AMQP message queue interaction
- Updates to the rule engine to simplify rule creation (foreach loop extensions, row structure reference)
- HIVE integration
- VIVO integration
RHESSys ecohydrology workflows (github.com/selimnairb/RHESSysWorkflows)
RHESSysWorkflows provides a series of Python scripts for performing RHESSys data preparation workflows. These scripts build on the workflow system defined by EcohydroLib.
Ecohydrology library of transformation routines (github.com/selimnairb/EcohydroLib)
EcohydroLib provides a series of Python scripts for performing ecohydrology data preparation workflows. Workflow sub-components are orchestrated via a metadata persistence store provided by the ecohydrolib.metadata package. These scripts are built on top of a series of task-oriented APIs defined in the Python package EcohydroLib. The workflow scripts provide tools for downloading and manipulating geospatial data needed to run a ecohydrology models, information such as: digital elevation model (DEM), soils, land cover, and vegetation leaf area index. These data can be drawn both from national spatial data infrastructure (NLCD, SSURGO) as well as custom local datasets.
Mediawiki and iRODS extensions
The MediaWiki server is accessible at gicl.cci.drexel.edu and the associated “RodsWiki” extension is available at bitbucket.org/drexel/rodswiki/
Engineering File Format Registry
Drexel maintains the Format Registry at format-registry.cci.drexel.edu which provides a centralized location for metadata about engineering file formats as well as sample files. In addition to preservation attributes, this also captures metadata about the representational strength of each format. The source code for this is available online at bitbucket.org/drexel/format-registry/.
