Use Case: Archive Raw PAM Data with NCEI

ID: UC-001

Goal: Submit a raw audio dataset and associated metadata for long-term archiving at NCEI

1. Descriptions

Primary Actor: PAM Data Provider (or PAM Analyst on their behalf)

Trigger: A data provider has uploaded PAM acoustic data, and is ready to begin the archiving process.

Pre-conditions:

To be refined based on resources and references provided by NCEI
Sufficient metadata exists and is properly formatted
Data files comply with NCEI standards

Post-conditions:

Accession number has been created
DOI has been created
Data from the data provider are publicly available on the NCEI PAD Google bucket (https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/noaa-passive-bioacoustic) and discoverable on the NCEI Passive Acoustic Data Map (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/passive-acoustic-data)
Data is publicly accessible on the NOAA Open Data Dissemination (NODD) website and cloud buckets (the specific cloud and access method is determined at the time of archiving.)

Priority: High

2. Basic Flow (Happy Path)

The exact steps are TBD. Relevant systems and decisions. 1. metadata database 2. PACE/PassivePacker installed in PAMHUB? 3. Exact format of archive package. 4. Role of ATRAC or other Archive tools (Send2NCEI)

3. Alternative / Exception Flows

3.1 Data volume too large for internet transfer

Includes, data volumes are too large and therefore egress fees are too expensive for cloud to cloud transfer.

3.2 Other

TBD

3.3 Other TBD failure

TBD

4. Special Requirements

Note

TBD — Requirements will be captured by the PAM Analyst during manual NCEI archiving interactions in the first increment and passed to the development team for incorporation here.
