The archive project will improve the user experience with the NRAO archive for the raw (visibility or otherwise) and image data from the VLA, VLBA, ALMA, and other telescopes, while not accruing significant new technical debt and retiring technical debt where necessary to improve the user experience. Interdependencies between the Workspaces system and the archive will be addressed within this project, but significant changes to Workspaces are out of scope, though limited enhancements are possible.
The archive predates architectural analysis at the NRAO. Therefore, this project will also begin with a limited architectural review with the aim of capturing the architectural drivers, quality attributes, and overall architecture of the archive, in order to inform the rest of the project.
