12 years ago We are going to look at the SWEET ontology for their modeling of data units and use these to tag our input visko datasets with a unit. If some operator changes the units of the dataset, we can update all parameters that are affected, such as contouring parameters described in the previous message.
some service parameters should be set according to the value of another parameter. for example, if I have a service that adds a bias (e.g., shifts the data by a constant value, for example to change the units from seconds to milliseconds) on some data, then the contouring parameter contour range, must also be shifted by the bias. there are many more examples of these parameter dependencies and it would be nice if the setting of dependent parameters was automated.
In fact, there could be a separate "pipeline" just for figuring out parameter input values, running along side the operator pipeline!
