What do we do with "NOAA - Australasian Surface Drifting Buoys" collection? #399

Closed ggalibert closed 3 years ago

ggalibert commented 5 years ago

This collection is available on prod, yet is not being updated (set up a while ago by @mhidas) and associated noaa_drifters_map layer is too slow according to Nagios (looks not too bad on the portal though).

This dataset is not IMOS nor AODN, as far as I understood it was first set up as prototype. The question is should we get rid of it or try to complete this?

The layer was set up very quickly for a TAMS workshop years ago and not maintained since then. We'd need to check whether they (or anyone else) are still using it.

ggalibert commented 5 years ago

@mhidas, @kereid do you have a point of contact at NOAA or TAMS for this dataset?

kereid commented 5 years ago

@ggalibert no I don't have contact details for anyone at NOAA @smancini might? And Perhaps it would be best to contact Jessica Boomer for TAMS @mhidas will know if she is the best contact for that.

mhidas commented 5 years ago

Jessica Boomer is the current coordinator of TAMS. This layer was originally added in 2014 for Jason Everett, and working also with Erik van Sebille (both at UNSW).

mhidas commented 5 years ago

I'll contact them to see if they're still using this collection for TAMS.

mhidas commented 5 years ago

They are no longer using this layer in the TAMS workshop, so I think we can safely remove it from the portal! @ggalibert @smancini

mhidas commented 5 years ago

We could also remove the layers from geoserver-config, the db schema, and the harvester! That would also resolve https://github.com/aodn/content/issues/335 and https://github.com/aodn/content/issues/196

:bird: :bird: :bird: with one stone! (sort of)

ggalibert commented 5 years ago

Sounds like a great plan!

@atkinsn could you please remove the relevant metadata record from Geonetwork?

atkinsn commented 5 years ago

@ggalibert as we have had this collection up for a number of years on the Portal. What I would like to do is, to remove the WMS and WFS (etc) from the record, it will then be "removed" from the Portal. But still have it in GeoNetwork, in case someone has used this data and cited it, the link to the metadata will still resolve. I will add text to the metadata to explain when it was taken down etc.

@atkinsn is this done? can be closed?

mhidas commented 3 years ago

For this to be closed, the following need to happen:

[x] Remove WMS & WFS links from metadata record
[x] Remove noaa_drifters_ layers from geoserver-config
[ ] Remove the db schema and role
[x] Remove any associated files (I don't actually see any on S3 or even in archive)

WMS and WFS removed, will disappear from Portal from tomorrow.
