Project Modules

This project has declared the following modules:

Name Description
OODT Core The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.
Common Utilities Apache OODT Common Utilities Project
CAS Command Line Interface The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.
Process Control System Input Data Package The Process Control System's data handling package. This package contains data structures and readers and writers to write an input file format similar to HDF, as represented in XML.
Catalog and Archive Service Generic Multi-valued Metadata Container A Multi-valued, generic Metadata container class. The class uses an internal Map of string keys pointing to vectors of strings. The data structure looks like the following: [std:string key]⇒std:vector of std:strings The multi-valued nature of the class is handled transparently by this Metadata container. Since all values are stored internally as string vectors, the difference between a scalar value and a non-scalar is handled by determining whether the list of values for a particular key is greater than 1.
Catalog and Archive File Management Component The file management component of a Catalog and Archive Service. This component purposefully separates data stores and metadata stores as standard interfaces, and provides some out of the box backend implementations of them (including one based on the javax.sql.DataSource interface). This component provides everything that you need to catalog, archive and manage files, and directories, and their associated metadata.
Catalog and Archive Workflow Management Component The workflow management component of a Catalog and Archive Service. This component purposefully separates workflow repositories and workflow engines standard interfaces, and provides some out of the box backend implementations of them (including one based on the javax.sql.DataSource interface). This component provides everything that you need to execute workflows, and science processing pipelines.
Catalog and Archive Crawling Framework The Catalog and Archive Service Crawling Framework.
Catalog and Archive Resource Management Component The resource management component of a Catalog and Archive Service. This component provides job management, and management of the underlying software system hardware and resources, such as disk space, computational resources, and shared identity.
OODT CAS Curator Single Sign On Security Package The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.
CAS Curation Web Services Services for ingesting files into the file manager and iteratively extracting metadata.
CAS Curation Interface A web application for managing policy for products and files and metadata that have been ingested via the CAS component.
CAS PGE Adaptor Framework Allows data processing jobs not written in conformance with the PCS PGE interface to be run within the PCS.
CAS Installer Maven Mojo The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.
OODT :: Archetypes Ways to quickly get started with some of OODT's components
OODT Wicket Web Components The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field. We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.
CAS File Manager Browser Web App The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.

We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.
CAS Product Server Web Application This project builds on top of the CAS file management component and exposes its underlying data delivery capabilities using the OODT ProductServer component. All-in-all, this project contributes an OODT LargeProductHandler component, that can be used to deliver and format a CAS product structure into an OODT XML Query Result Set.
CAS Workflow REST Services A set of REST-ful services for the Workflow Manager.
Process Control System Core Package The Process Control System's core system framework. PCS is an agglomeration of CAS services and components needed to build a science data system.
Process Control System Operator Interface Webapp The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects. The Apache projects are characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.
