ESGF Node Projects
The ESGF Node is the central project. It is an amalgam of several
sub-projects and external software components and libraries to create a single
Data Node artifact capable of searching, sharing and posting large amounts of
metadata.
publisher
- Harvests, publishes, replicates and maintains meta data.
- Primary feature component for performing meta data harvesting, publishing
and maintenance. Features pluggable handler design architecture for multi
data format support.
Compute
- The ESGF Compute Node is a common installation like the Data Node
- Deployed through recipes to enable server-side processing as an alternative to file download
- Built upon OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) for standards-compliance and interoperability
- Leveraging work from international activities to deliver robust subsetting and more advanced processing capabilities
- Scalable deployment on a range of architectures
- Reliant on large unit test coverage to support maintainability and product-readiness
