As AI-as-a-Service developer for a new road weather forecasting model applied to the road weather datasets of the Open Data Hub, I would like to integrate some weather forecasts data in the Open Data Hub, so that the implementation of the model is simpler

[rcavaliere]

• [ ] set up module for data extraction (see https://pypi.org/project/dwdGribExtractor/)
• [ ] define technical specifications on how to integrate the data in the Open Data Hub
• [ ] implementation of the Data Collector

@rcavaliere are you sure about this library?

I have taken a quick look and initially failed to install it, because in their own install instructions they had a typo, so the package name was wrong. The repo hasn't gotten any commits for 3 years, has 0 issues opened, no forks, and from the typo in the install instructions still being there I assume nobody is using this.

I'd just like to avoid putting in a lot of work and then realizing the library doesn't work right for whatever reason (in 3 years maybe the file formats changed or something similar), or we have to maintain the library ourselves if future issues come up.

EDIT: nevermind, I've looked at the actual code, and it's just a few hundred lines, so we can probably manage if there are no alternatives

@clezag CISMA has provided me now some more details, I will upgrade the technical details on how to extract the data here by preparing the usual technical specification document. I will however work on this starting next week

@dulvui is in an e-mail thread investigating together with @rcavaliere and CISMA about this issue.

[rcavaliere]

Based on some information received yesterday by CISMA, the technical feasibility should be confirmed, @ohnewein

@dulvui can you provide some JSON examples, so that we can design the integration in our database?
