3. Discussion of comments: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/regrep/201205/msg00002.html
- Team: Welcomed Dr. Reagan Moore and every introduced
themselves
- Reagan: provided overview of iRODS
- Manages large distributed collections of data (5PB, 200M
files) across organization and geographic boundaries
- Collection may reside in diverse operating systems,
storage media
- Enforces organization-specific collection management
policies
- Allows sharing of data between multiple institutions
- Serves as a broker between protocol required by
remote storage and remote client
- Carl: What is our vision for the outcome of collaboration with
iRODS
- Farrukh: We identify what it takes for RegRep interface to
be a front end to iRODS repository and log issues for any gaps
that need to be filled in the specification. We target these
issues to drive the next version of the specification.
- Reagan: Asked if we have worked with DAITF (Data Access
Interop Task Force), part of EUDAT
infrastructure project. They are working on federating
data across repositories. They are serveying technology to
leverage. They have decided to use iRODS. The NSF DataNet
project is a similar program in US. It is being implented
in NSF Earthcube
project, Ocean
Observatory Initiative (OOI), NOAA, ...
- Farrukh: We have not worked with DAITF
- Issue: How to make sure that DAITF and DataNet are aware
of RegRep and to explore adoption of RegRep in those
programs
- Nikola: How do Fedora and DSPACE relate to iRODS? Does iRODS
use them?
- Reagan: The opposite. They use iRODS in their implementation
- Reagan: RegRep could be another client interfaces to iRODS
- Nikola: What interfaces are exposed by iRODS
- Reagan: iRODS interfaces consist of: java,c and C++ io class
libraries, shell commands
- Nikola: What rules language for iRODS, It it forward or
backward chaining
- Reagan: Rules in iRODS uses its own rule language, not using
DRULES or other external rule language
- Nikola: Any UIs for rule maintenance?
- Reagan: Microservers allow to manage and manipulate rules,
essentially allows writing a rule to manage rules. A UI was
developed in England by ??
- Reagan: Comparing design centers, iRODS is strongly driven by
scientific applications, whereas RegRep is driven by buisness
processes
- Farrukh: RegRep started with business process focus but
experience over the years has been broader
- ACTION:
- Nikola / Farrukh / Reagan: sketch an outline of what a
RegRep client interface to iRODS looks like
