Data Input section #8

Closed hdsingh closed 5 years ago

hdsingh commented 5 years ago

Task for Week 1

Two options will be available for data input:

  1. Intake intake.gui would be used for data input into the dashboard.
  2. Remote URL Data would be loaded directly from the specified URL of a dataset.

ADD data button would initiate the process of data loading. The loaded data would be displayed in the next section.

I think we should have a design meeting early next week before you go into too much detail or start writing any concrete code.

I believe that the interface should take an xarray instance as input (which may be metadata-only, in-memory or dask-backed) and not worry about connecting with intake or some URL. This way the interface need not depend on anything external. Then, the "data input" is the xarray instance's structure: a tree of variables, sets of attributes and, for each variable, the associated coordinates. The coordinates fields may or may not have obvious interpretations as geographic location and time.

There is no need for catalog input panel since intake.gui already has this functionality.
