If you want to remove the Data Provider Form from your ERDDAP, put Information with them unless you actually want to add data to the ERD ERDDAP. These links on the ERD ERDDAP send information to me, not you, so don't submit If you just want to look at the form (without filling it out), Please fill out the form at yourUrl/erddap/dataProviderForm.html (or if isn't enabled).Īfter you finish, I'll contact you to work out the final details. You can send them an email saying something like: Instead, when someone tells you they want to have their data served by your ERDDAP, There isn't a link in ERDDAP to the Data Provider Form You will need to scan the files for viruses and take other security precautions.
You should probably only accept files from people you know. Pull from the cloud (for example, DropBox or Google Drive),Īn sftp site (with passwords), or sneakerNet (a USB thumb drive or external hard drive). Works for you and the data provider, for example, email (for small files), The submission of actual data files from external sources is a huge security risk, Thus, the form semi-automates the process of getting a dataset into ERDDAP,īut the ERDDAP administrator still has to complete the datasets.xml chunkĪnd deal with getting the data file(s) from the provider or connecting to the database. The information submitted is converted into the datasets.xml format and thenĮmailed to the ERDDAP administrator (you) and written (appended) toīigParentDirectory/logs/dataProviderForm.log. Some other guidance, including extensive guidance for So ERDDAP has a Data Provider Form which gathers metadataįrom the data provider and gives the data provider (information about the dataset) needed to add the dataset into ERDDAP. It can be difficult and time consuming to collect all of the metadata When a data provider comes to you hoping to add some data to your ERDDAP, Or, you can join the ERDDAP Google Group / Mailing List If you get stuck, please send an email with the details to bob dot simons at noaa dot gov. Making the datasets.xml takes considerable effort for the first few datasets, but it gets easier.Īfter the first dataset, you can often re-use a lot of your work for the next dataset.įortunately, ERDDAP comes with two Tools to help you create the XML for each
Forms to request graphs and maps ( aph).Data Access Forms ( datasetID.html) so you can request a subset of data in lots of different file formats.You get all the advantages of ERDDAP, including:
If you buy into these ideas and expend the effort to create the XML for datasets.xml, Longitude, latitude, altitude (or depth), and time variables. ERDDAP needs you to do special things with the.Presenting your data to users who aren't familiar with it. The additional metadata is a good addition to your dataset and helps ERDDAP do a better job of The metadata requested by ERDDAP adds descriptive information to the dataset. Just as the metadata that is currently in the dataset adds descriptive information to the dataset, SourceUrl, summary, and title) and variable attributes The dataset's current metadata is imported automatically.īut if you want to modify that metadata or add other metadata, you have to specify it in datasets.xml.Īnd ERDDAP needs other metadata, including global attributes.You have to identify a subset of the dataset's variables which share the same dimensions. For gridded datasets, in order to make the dataset conform to ERDDAP's data structure for gridded data,.You have to write a chunk of XML for datasets.xml which describes the dataset. Setting up a dataset in ERDDAP isn't just a matter of pointing to the dataset'sĭirectory or URL.
