19.6.1.2 Implementation Points Based on Strategies for Scenario3
IO1.1 New RepInfo based on IIWG format description removing need to
understand FORTRAN as is the case with comprehending the current version
IO1.2 Create DEDSL dictionary for 14 standard parameters and add RepInfo
from the Registry Repository on the XML DEDSL standard
IO1.3 Authenticity information from the current archivist for the 252 stations
and the data transformation/ingest process
IO1.4 Perform CSV dump of station information from Postgres database
IO1.5 A logical description of the directory structure was created
IO1.6 PACK was used to create and add checksum to the AIP maintaining the
existing directory file structure
19.6.2 STFC4: Implementation Plan for Scenario4
Ionosonde-Complex
The second preservation scenario for the Ionosonde can only be carried out for 7
European stations but will allow a consistent Ionogram record for the Chilton site
which dates back to the 1920s. A user from a future designated community should
be able reproduce an Ionogram from the raw mmm/sao data files (see Fig.
19.11
)
and have access to the Ionospheric Monitoring group's website, the URSI hand-
books of interpretation and Lowell technical documentation. Being able to preserve
the Ionogram record is significant as it a much richer source of information more
accurately able to covey the state of the atmosphere when correctly interpreted. The
preservation information flow is shown in Fig.
19.12
.
