CUAHSI archive architecture - earthcubeprojects-chords/chords GitHub Wiki

The CUAHSI archive integration consists of the following elements:

• Archive MVC
  • This defines which archive is selected along with a couple of configuration parameters such as user credentials as well as the frequency at which data are sent to the archive
  • Currently this is limited to CUAHSI
  • It also schedules cron jobs using the "Whenever" gem
  • Credential are securely stored stored in the config/archive.yml file
• ArchiveJob MVC
  • This MVC acts a a job scheduler, tracking the status of which data need to be archived
  • It also tracks the success status of each attempted transmission
  • Jobs are created by the archive:create_jobs rake task (this is called by the cron job)
  • Data are sent to the archive by the archive:send_data rake task
• Contact Info fields were added to the Profile (this is required by CUAHSI)
• Several Controlled Vocabularies / Ontologies were integrated into the portal specifically to enable CUAHSI compatibility:
  • MeasuredProperties
  • SiteType
  • TopicCategory
  • Units
  • GeneralCategory
