16:25 pvh_sa hi pdurbin... I see donsizemore isn't online right now.
16:38 donsizemore joined #dataverse
16:39 djbrooke joined #dataverse
16:44 pdurbin donsizemore: knock knock ^^
16:45 pdurbin pvh_sa: had a question about iRODs: https://gitter.im/mozillascience/community/archives/2016/09/16
16:48 donsizemore @pvh_sa i'm happy to answer any questions i can, but you really want to talk to Akio Sone, asone@email.unc.edu
16:49 donsizemore @pvh_sa for a small-scale installation you might check out iRODS-webdav http://irods.org/2015/04/how-to-drag-and-drop-access-to-irods-with-webdav/ (and for a Linux client, say davfs2)
16:50 donsizemore @pvh_sa what we'd really want is a dataverse interface to iCommands, but either way you're looking at caching problems at scale
17:03 pvh_sa donsizemore, caching problems how? we're basically looking into building a system for uploading and storing data long term to a store (iRODS is preferred here)
17:03 pvh_sa for certain data types / user groups we'll enforce a metadata capture interface to ensure we have a standard set of metadata for e.g. incoming DNA sequencing samples
17:04 pvh_sa then export from there to Galaxy for running analyses... store long term valuable results in iRODS again (and Neo4j DBs, but that's another story)
17:05 pvh_sa we = SANBI (bioinformatics institute in South Africa)
17:05 donsizemore @pvh_sa everything we tried up front on this end involved a davfs2 mount (which caches everything locally)
17:06 donsizemore @pvh_sa you could also check out irods-cloud-browser though i'd imagine what you really want is an application interface to icommands
17:07 pvh_sa donsizemore, yeah some of our colleagues been working on something like that. the python bindings need a bit of TLC though, which is a pity since we like python
17:08 pvh_sa on the dataverse side though... I had a look at your DataFileIO interface... is that the main dataverse storage interface?
17:15 pdurbin pvh_sa: yes, from what I understand
17:16 pvh_sa so where does dataverse store metadata then?
17:16 pvh_sa because DataFileIO is concerned with files, URLs... data, not metadata...
17:23 donsizemore @pvh_sa i believe dataverse keeps all its metadata in postgres.
17:24 pdurbin right, metadata goes in postgres: http://phoenix.dataverse.org/schemaspy/latest/tables/datasetfield.html
17:36 pdurbin pvh_sa: if you would like a better answer, please email https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/dataverse-dev to reach other developers who know more about this area of the code
17:38 pvh_sa thanks pdurbin ... its enough for now... its always interesting looking at projects to see how they do things, get ideas.
17:38 pdurbin yeah
17:39 pdurbin please send more ideas :)

18:10 mconway42 hey pvh. It's Mike Conway at UNC, I'm a friend of Don Sizemore, I can perhaps help you with some of your q's alongside don and akio, if you all want to touch base maybe next week  michael_conway@unc.edu

18:56 pvh_sa thanks mconway42 - going to be meeting with my team (local and remote) on Monday... will collate questions
