Wrap Up

Attendes: Ralph, Shawn, Dustin, Rodger Call Duration: 50 min

1. Minutes from previous call:

  • Regarding Data Request Overview: add additional examples of completed request form. (e.g. in addition to examples of attachments provided by Shannon Capps).

  • Regarding data request policy: Create mechanism wherein users can request portions of modeling platform as they are released (e.g. emissions before PGM, etc.), however, DW will not release partially fulfilled requests.

  • Regarding ENVIRON SA Tool: Code has been transferred to DW

2. Re-cap from Feb. 25 Tech. Committee Meeting

  • EPA checklist: Discussion tabled until 4/29 call
  • 2011a platform will be released with caveats. Refer to notes in 2011a modeling platform description. Add status flag that indicates platform component availability. Revisit "Evaluation" score with Tom on the call.
  • Next Tech. Committee meeting: April 29/30 call in.

3. DW website development

  • Data Request UI has been deployed. Dusting is managing data requests and creating user ftp accounts for data download as requests are approved. InitialNew requests trigger new "Project" once they are approved, if project does not already exist.

  • DW Forum email notification system is in place and appears functional. Currently testing functionality outside of CIRA. "How-to" describing user steps to watch forum topics was posted to "website-help" on DW Forum. (Q: was email announcement sent to cooperators for review of Emissions Modeling report?)

  • Image Browser: Shawn has created a version of the image browser as .Net control. This will allow implementation of desired dual plot functionality by creating simultaneous instances of the user control. For the time being, there is no metadata associated with the plots, other than the current folder/filename browsing.
