Applying Search Techniques for Scientific Data Discovery and Exploration
NCAR’s diverse scientific data holdings have historically been difficult for external scientists and users to search across and find the data they need to do their science. While NCAR currently has a search system that aggregates these data holdings, we are experimenting with a simpler approach. This project is focused on continued development of a new scientific data search Java-based web application. This summer we’re enhancing our current software by including but not limited to the following: search facets, improving the usability of our web front-end, making our front end more responsive to both large and small screen internet enabled devices, and storing and reading more metadata from our Solr search platform, scientific metadata validation, and email notifications if incomplete metadata is found.
