giosystem documentation¶
giosystem is the name of the software system used for managing the processing lines and related functionality of the IPMA Copernicus Global Land project. It consists of serveral components:
- giosystemcore
- giosystemcore is a package that facilitates working with files and algorithms used in the IPMA GIO-GL processing lines.
- giosystem-django-base
- A django project that forms a base for installing the various web applications that are part of giosystem. It includes a django-pywps, which is a WPS server used to process IPMA Copernicus GL products on demand.
- Introduction to giosystem-settings-django
A web application that is used to store settings for the processing lines. These settings include hosts, file paths and patterns, processing packages, processing line execution dependencies, etc.
It provides a web accessible API that can be used to query the system’s settings programatically. This API is used by giosystemcore for creating all of the specialized classes.
giosystemdjangobase/downloads- A web application that provides individual products, quicklooks, etc to web clients on demand. It responds to HTTP requests, delivering the products to the requesting clients.
giosystemdjangobase/operations- A web application that stores information on the various tasks performed by the processing lines. It stores information on the execution status and results of the tasks defined in the processing lines.
- Giosystem processing
- A group of algorithms implemented in Fortran and C++ that perform the actual product generation. These algorithms are available as individual projects. The installation of these algorithms into the giosystem framework is managed and configured in the giosystem-processing component. Each algorithm is managed individually in its own repository on bitbucket.
- giosystem-ecflow
- ecFlow processing lines. This package interfaces with the ecflow software, managing its configuration for the processing lines of the giosystem.
- Giosystem-orders
- An ordering server (OGC OSEO) that responds to order requests. It interfaces with the external GIO-GL portal and is responsible for managing and processing order and subscription requests for the products generated at IPMA’s processing lines.
These components interact with each other, forming the whole giosystem big picture. The following diagram provides a general overview on this interaction.
