I'm just starting in on understanding these, and comparing them with the PPRs for CIPL and Vlass quicklook imaging.
XML Schema Home:
ALMA xml schemas live in the the Alma Common Software area, and each successive component adds to that compilation. It's in ${ACS_ROOT}/${ACS_VERSION}/ACSSW/idl/ (A concrete example in CV: /home/acs/ACS-2018JUN/ACSSW/idl/ ) The most likely schema of interest are:
- OUSStatus.xsd
- SciPipeRequest.xsd (i.e. the PPR)
- SciPipeResults.xsd (i.e. the Pipeline Manifest)
Software Details:
For our test data set, we want to be using CASA/pipeline version 5.1.1-5r40896. This is the ALMA-approved version of CASA for Cycle 5. See: https://almascience.nrao.edu/processing/science-pipeline
