Information architecture at the Solar Data Analysis Center
Abstract
Understanding the physics of the Sun and solar phenomena is of central importance to understanding space weather. This dovetails with the mission of the Solar Data Analysis Center (SDAC), which is to support the scientific study of the Sun. As the solar physics community embraces new computational capabilities, new analysis tools and new workflows, the nature of the information architecture support from the SDAC is changing in response, consistent with its mission. In this presentation I will discuss some recent new initiatives that support and follow where the solar and broader heliophysics community is leading. This includes testbed data analysis environments in commercial cloud providers, experiments in using CPU/GPU computing clusters for data analysis, support for improved data products, data citation, and data search and download. I will also briefly introduce the Heliophysics Digital Resource Library (HDRL), an umbrella organization that is co-ordinating information architecture development efforts between the SDAC, the Space Physics Data Facility, and the Heliophysics Data and Modeling Consortium, and works in tandem with the Community Coordinated Modeling Center.
