Workflow needed to notify new providers / providers of new resources when their data first come online (!= indexed) #41

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Due to the decoupling of the indexing and the publication process in the
new data portal, data providers do not yet reliably get notified by email
when their new resource(s) first become available online through data.gbif.org.

Workflow in the publication process should therefore contain a routine that

- identifies providers and resources that were included in the data portal
since the last rollover

- pulls out some key data items needed for sending a meaningful
notification message (provider name, resource name, contact names for
provider and/or resource, contact emails, provider page url, possibly
number of records indexed, link to log message page for the resource) in a
format that makes it easy to construct notification emails.

- eventually triggers sending of these notifications (minim.: ensure that
this step is always included in the publication workflow)
