Create a test suite and linter tooling for CovJSON

[lewismc]

Introduction

CoverageJSON (typically shortened to CovJSON) is a format for encoding coverage data like grids, time series, and vertical profiles, distinguished by the geometry of their spatiotemporal domain. A CoverageJSON object represents a domain, a range, a coverage, or a collection of coverages. A range in CoverageJSON represents coverage values. A coverage in CoverageJSON is the combination of a domain, parameters, ranges, and additional metadata. A coverage collection represents a list of coverages.

Project Description

This project seeks to develop and provide

• A test suite for CovJSON: existing test suites from which motivation can be drawn exist for JSON-LD, RDFa and Microformats.
• Processor Conformance: which would report processor conformance (e.g. OPeNDAP Hyrax, THREDDS, etc.) for CovJSON and related specifications according to the requirements of the Evaluation and Report Language (EARL) 1.0 Schema

Mentors

@lewismc , NASA JPL @jonblower, Institute for Environmental Analytics

Required Knowledge

Knowledge of environmental observation data which captures structures such as grids, time series, and vertical profiles, distinguished by the geometry of their spatiotemporal domain. Understanding what these data structures are is fundamental to achieving excellence in this project, that is to say, working with that kind of data should be something you are already interested in and experience in.

I am interested! Tried to contact you since @lewismc on slack etc.

hi @shfrz great, please start working on a proposal. Is there anything you need clarification on regrarding the above proposal?

[shfrz]

Thanks a lot for replying! I am really sorry that I showed up late. But the best part is that during the GSoC period, I would be available full time 'cause I have no commitments for the college as I would be on a full two month vacation!

@shfrz as we spoke about offline the final date for submitting a proposal is tomorrow. If you would like to be considered then you MUST submit a proposal by tomorrow this is mandated by Google. Thank you

[shfrz]

Sure! Trying hard ! "Only one, but ripe" :)

[shfrz]

Submitted the draft proposal for review. Hope you checked that!

Hi @lewismc,

So interesting and knowledgeful tasks. I really like it and already submitted a proposal.

I wish for further collaboration.

Thank you all for your proposals and your interest in ESIP. Unfortunately this project was not selected this year.

Really heartbreaking ...
