Evolving LISIRD and the LASP Time Series Server to Support Data Identification, Citation, and Provenance

Last year the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado launched a new version of a web application called LISIRD to serve solar irradiance and other related scientific data products. LISIRD's interactive plotting and download capabilities have been well received. LISIRD has been successful in large part to its reliance on middleware called the Time Series Server, which supports efficient scientific data access and data interoperability. In advancing LISIRD and the Time Series Server, we are now addressing other aspects of serving scientific data. We are now working to incorporate generation and management of unique identifiers and provenance information into dataset generation and management. This poster will discuss research into various metadata, workflow, provenance, and unique ID systems, and choices we made for integrating these components into a manageable system. We also discuss the impacts of this research on the evolution of LaTis, the 2nd generation of the Time Series Server.
