After an update about a potential deadline, restructured into a phase approach which emphasized getting the files in first, and redressing the errors later.
Initial Plan: ALFALFA Image Support for the AAT
From Email Thread:
If time is an issue, then I suggest a phased approach. The current state of play: SSA has demonstrated that we can ingest & retrieve the cubes and images with basic project information provided and using the default delivery methodology. Caveats: * Grouping Incorrect * 4 sets of files for each grid, with the spectral cubes as science products * All 16 images for a grid as a single science product preferred * Metadata * Location reference based on the axis reference points * Image center preferred * Projection effects not properly taken into account Those caveats are things that could be rectified after the fact. The Curator tool from the Workspaces project has performed similar revisions in both metadata and relational information. If we declare this current state of play to be sufficient for the time being, we don't require any more development of the AAT software. The remaining work is in automating the large set of ingestions.
With the current state of play considered sufficient for the time being, then SSA-???? can go forward as is, with the metadata ticket closed after the remaining tasks have been collected into another epic for structure and metadata revisions .
Files First:
SSA-7766 - Getting issue details... STATUS :: metadata revision ticket closed (sufficient for now, remaining tasks split to metadata epic below), other prep is all in validation, ready for automation
SSA-8065 - Getting issue details... STATUS :: spectra ingestion as group ancillaries, and provisions for delivery to users with grid images
Catalog: (RR on same ancillary in multiple groups behavior, metadata/ngas hand setup)
Metadata/Structure Revisions:
SSA-8060 - Getting issue details... STATUS :: Image metadata and Structure Revisions
Later: Collection Metadata
Later: Preferred Handling of Spectra and Catalog
