5.6. Module ODN/Management
Module responsible for managing the process of dataset transformation and publication. The diagram below shows the interaction of ODN modules when a dataset is published. The diagram below is showing the case when the dataset publication is launched manually; however, it may be also scheduled by ODN, so that it runs at certain times (e.g., every month).
5.6.1. Wizard for preparing the transformation task
ODN/UnifiedViews provides standard dialog for editing the data transformation pipeline. Further, ODN/Management provides a wizard (for inexperienced users) to prepare the transformation task. Wizard should be implemented by ODN/Management, using ODN/UnifiedViews HTTP REST Transformation API for interacting with transformation pipelines.
5.6.2. Structure of ODN/Management and its context
5.6.3. Interaction with other modules
ODN/Management allows management of the whole data transformation and publication process. ODN/Management uses ODN/InternalCatalog to store metadata about datasets to be transformed. ODN/Management calls ODN/UnifiedViews (its HTTP Transformation API) to create, execute transformation pipelines or get status of the transformation execution. ODN/Management can instruct ODN/Publication to publish data transformed by ODN/UnifiedViews and stored to ODN/Storage (based on request from ODN administrator/data publisher); this publication may also involve publication to ODN/Catalog.
