1 Science Data Model v2 François Viallefond Observatoire de Paris - LERMA Steve Torchinsky Observatoire de Paris - USN François Viallefond Science Data Model v2 CALIM2010, Dwingeloo, 24 Aug
2 Science Data Model history from MS to SDMv2 Measurement Set (MSv2) Used offline with AIPS++ (now casacore) Evolved to become the ALMA SDM (ASDMv0) François Viallefond Science Data Model v2 CALIM2010, Dwingeloo, 24 Aug
3 Science Data Model history from MS to SDMv2 Measurement Set (MSv2) Used offline with AIPS++ (now casacore) Evolved to become the ALMA SDM (ASDMv0) ASDMv1 Real time data capture ALMA and EVLA ~50 tables This is the current version used for ALMA & EVLA François Viallefond Science Data Model v2 CALIM2010, Dwingeloo, 24 Aug
4 Science Data Model v2 - Goals Generalised model for any radio telescope Single dish Aperture synthesis (eg. ALMA, EVLA, PdB,...) VLBI Aperture plane phased arrays (eg. EMBRACE) Focal Plane Arrays Feed clusters (eg. Parkes, Arecibo, Effelsberg,...) Phased array feeds (eg. ASKAP, APERTIF) François Viallefond Science Data Model v2 CALIM2010, Dwingeloo, 24 Aug
5 Science Data Model v2 - Overview Enum Categorised enumerators PhysQuan (Physical Quantities) Collections of physical quantities (eg. Temperatures) and measures (eg. QDirections) Virtual Quantities (eg. Phase_Dir, Staircase for OTF) Values with uncertainties (eg. Position, Length) SDM Ensemble of Tables Relations within tables, and between tables Normalisation Allows queries in a database Set/subset based François Viallefond Science Data Model v2 CALIM2010, Dwingeloo, 24 Aug
6 Science Data Model v2 - components Meta data eg. definition of a configuration Auxilliary data eg. instrument diagnostics (temperatures, encoder values, etc) Data eg. visibilities, autocorrelations Objects and Types persist and remain accessible François Viallefond Science Data Model v2 CALIM2010, Dwingeloo, 24 Aug
