Review Mosaic Associations #365
Comments
This issue is tracked on JIRA as RAD-150. |
Comment by Nadia Dencheva on JIRA: The mosaic_association schema does not have description and I'm not clear what it represents and. how this ticket aims to improve it. Could you put some more details here? |
It is my understanding that the current |
I am not sure of all aspects on this, but there are two different things going on I believe. One is where an association, the contents itself, needs to be represented. This I believe is the For roman, if instead of the file references, one wants to actually put the association in the meta data, I do not see any reason why not to replace |
My recollection is that we started with associations being in the L3 metadata but removed it because there were problems serializing it. You two know better than I do. I think we have what we need in the mosaic schema right now and I don't think either the mosaic association or main association schema buys us very much, so I would probably leave things as they are for now. Since we're already including the list of contributing exposures in the individual image metadata I think that's the chief thing. Let me know if you see things differently here. |
A "pro" for having the association itself in the meta is ease of reproducibility: If in the meta, it would be trivial to extract/save the association, as it had been defined, to use as input again. On the other hand, a "reproduce association from L3 meta" tool is still straightforward, since the list of inputs is represented in the meta. Another "pro" just thought of though is consistency amongst our products: If L2 has an association meta, users would expect the same in L3? |
About the serialization, I do not have knowledge about that except that if it isn't an issue with L2 data, not sure why it would be an issue with L3? Or maybe it is an issue in L2? |
It doesn't look to me like the L2s have association metadata, and it makes less sense for them. But let's wait for Paul to get back re serialization. |
@tddesjardins Do you have an opinion here, vis-a-vis the L3 File Schema Document? |
Prune the Mosaic_Associations schema and possibly merge with the Association schema, if appropriate.
