PDAP Query Language

The IPDA Steering Committee feels that it is important to initiate a project to define a PDAP Query Language that conforms to the PDAP protocol and that is also compliant with the PDS4 Data Standards. The goal of the project is to determine how the complexity of planetary science product searches can be incorporated into the PDAP protocol.

Title: PDAP Query Language

Proposed by: Steering Committee

Project Status: Startup

Team Leader: Steve Hughes

Team Members: P. Osuna, J. Salgado

Field: System Engineering

Description:

The IPDA Steering Committee feels that it is important to initiate a project to define a PDAP Query Language that conforms to the PDAP protocol and that is also compliant with the PDS4 Data Standards. The goal of the project is to determine how the complexity of planetary science product searches can be incorporated into the PDAP protocol.

Requirements:

  • IPDA Level 1/2 requirements
  • IPDA Data Model Requirements.
  • PDS4 Requirements

Risks: High –IPDA data standards

Timescale:      Start immediately End 9/2011 

17-Feb-2011 – Determine the complexity of planetary science product searches.

01-May-2011 – Determine mechanism for extending PDAP protocol

01-Aug-2011 - Final reports and tutorial information written and distributed.

01-Sep-2011 - Present results to the IPDA Steering Committee

Deliverables:

1)       Report on the complexity planetary science product searches.

2)       Example searches and results.

3)       Suggested extensions to the PDAP protocol.
