11-20, 09:30–09:55 (Pacific/Auckland), WG404
The Australian Ocean Data Network has built a system to ingest ocean data and make it discoverable to end users. This talk will demo the system and look at the open source technologies, emerging and traditional, that we've used to make it secure, scalable and adaptable.
The new Australian Ocean Data Network system which has been built over the last three years uses a host of open source technologies including:
- Elastic Search and Geonetwork for metadata management and search
- Zarr, Parquet and NetCDF for data storage and retrieval
- Prefect and dask for data ingestion and optimisation pipelines
- Terraform for infrastructure management
- SpringBoot and FastAPI for backend apis following modern OGC standards
- React for frontends
- Jupyter Notebooks for data access tutorials for advanced users
Our open data discovery portal launches in August 2025.
