Taxon Names Reconciliation Service
A service for performing assessment and harmonization on taxa. The aim is to provide users with an interface and methods for assessing if values are not correct, anomalous or for performing processing and aggregation operations on such data. This document outlines the design rationale, key features, and high-level architecture, as well as the options deployment.
Overview
The goal of this service is to offer a single entry for processing, assessing and harmonizing classification of species coming from multiples repositories.
Data can come from the Species Discovery Service or they could be uploaded from a user by means of a web interface. The service is able to interface to other infrastructural services in order to expand the number of functionalities and applications to the data under analysis.
Design
Philosophy
This represents an endpoint for users who want to process time series in order to extract informations.
Architecture
The subsystem comprises the following components:
- TimeSeries service: the service core;
- TimeSeries client library: a library to connect to the service.
A diagram of the relationships between these components is reported in the following figure:
Deployment
All the components of the service must be deployed together in a single node. This subsystem can be replicated on multiple hosts and scopes, this does not guarantee a performance improvement because this is associated to the requests which are made towards the database.
Small deployment
The deployment follows the schema of the Architecture
Use Cases
Well suited Use Cases
The Service is particularly suited to support processing on large dataset of timeseries and to collect statistics on such data.
