Feedback from the Hands On: Publishing catalogues with SAADA Advisors: Thomas Boch, Sébastien Derrière Tuesday, June 27 th Martin Kümmel Space Telescope – European Coordinating Facility
The Goal: “To teach participants how they can publish their catalogues through VO standards, using the SAADA tool. ”
The Ingredients: • • Java Tomcat Postgre. SQL (data base) SAADA (version from yesterday) • VO - registry • Aladin (VO image viewer, version from yesterday)
The Path: • • • Install and configure Postgre. SQL Install SAADA Load data into the database with SAADA Polish the data Make the data available (deploy via tomcat) Tell everyone about your data (enter your data in a VO-registry) • Explore your data via the VO-registry with Aladin
The Result: • Around 15 participants • Not all worked “full speed” on the Hand On • Seven participants were able to register the prepared data • Three were able to insert and register their own data
The Problems: • Unexpected situation (can I do this without root privileges…) • Compatibility problems (I have a Power. PC Mac…) • Large tools with complex GUI • One wrong CLICK is difficult to correct • I can not use the data in my own database. • Problems of unknown origin…. . … just the usual things
The Conclusion: • • • 70% success rate is low! “Hands On” should NOT go for the extreme Try to sell your software and services! Spread creditability! Motivate participants to use your software or to “spread the word”! • Things move to the right direction!
