Discussion and tickets supporting the Access/Download section of the Data Portal
Existing Framework
Single page with both Files and Feeds - easier to maintain?
- section for each Variable - latest data for all IS vars?
- User sees all formats/feed options
Timeslices
- Latest, last 3 days, last week, last month
- last year = later
Data Feeds - pre-built for latest IS data (and maybe RADAR). Single var, all platforms.
- WMS = latest - point to files for larger temporal aggregations.
- WFS/GML = latest - point to files for larger temporal aggregations.
- SOS = latest
- GeoRSS = latest - Separate feed for each platform, like NWS?
- include refs to applications to utilize each feed
Files - cached/preset
- CSV
- Shapefiles
- Styled KML - opens with Google Earth
- ObsKML
- full SQLite Xenia DB - only for all data vars/all times (1 month of data)
- include refs to applications to utilize each format and internal support pages where needed

New Ideas
- Better metrics on access - target feeds and formats for more development
- Less whitespace on F&F page
- Additional pages - form driven access via WMS
- Query based (dynamic)
- Select format, time, extent users want
- Include DODS DB access - dynamic
