Vision

Provide an integrated world-wide data services platform that enables the efficient discovery, dissemination, use and analysis of internationally sponsored planetary science archives 

We accomplish this by: 

• Capturing and curating archival data and metadata to enable both discovery and use by the community
• Providing a worldwide planetary science data portal as a gateway to archival data and services across PDS, IPDA and the broad planetary science community
• Providing consistent APIs for sharing archival data and services across PDS, among planetary archives, and within the planetary science community
• Supporting a federated cross-node, cross-agency search that enables users to get as close to the archived data and services as possible
• Enabling the on-going exploration and integration of modern tools and access methods to enable data discovery and analysis from visualization to mining of archival data

Phasing Plan

Phase 1 – Data Discoverability

• Establish the Registry and common search interfaces (APIs)
• Build API layers for integrated search across PDS
• Loop back to IM to support API and dynamic metadata

Phase 2 – Enhance User Experience

• Consistent web front-end across PDS and integrate search

Phase 3 – Data Usability

• Develop and improve transformations and visualizations of data
• Develop data user guides and enhance mission docs

Phase 4 – Computational Support and Analysis

• Develop Jupyter notebooks and on-demand algorithms for analysis

On-going throughout all phases – Cloud Integration and Data Curation
