Our "Customers"
Since its inception, OODT has been "science neutral", ready to profile resources
with extensible metadata, retrieve resources regardless of platform and data format,
catalog resources with automatic metadata extraction, and archive resources for
later use. With such an open-ended model, Apache OODT can work in any number of
disciplines, both science and otherwise.
Current users of OODT include:
- NASA's next generation Earth science decadal missions and their data processing systems
-
Including the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, the
NPP Sounder PEATE project,
and the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) missions,
as well as legacy missions like Seawinds/QuickSCAT.
- DARPA's emerging XDATA program
-
Apache OODT was selected to help support the DARPA XDATA program, developing a platform substrate
combining Apache Hadoop, Apache Tika,
and OODT, along with the WINGS workflow system for use in
intelligence applications.
- MIT Haystack Observatory
-
The MIT Haystack Observatory and JPL have been funded by the U.S. National
Science Foundation on a project called RAPID (NSF Award ID:
1229036).
RAPID (Radio Array of Portable Interferometric Detectors) will leverage Apache OODT for its next generation
data management system providing scientific workflows and data processing for investigations of ionospheric
phenomena, solar radio emission, the Galactic synchrotron background, and ultra-high energy cosmic rays via
airshower emission.
- The U.S. National Climate Assessment
-
Specifically, supporting 2 projects.
- Regional Climate Model Evaluation System (RCMES) project
A cloud-based data-point model for storing remote sensing observations and rapidly and efficiently
accessing them, along with a dynamic, easy to install evaluation toolkit including the ability to
regrid data, quickly perform metrics like Bias, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) and Probability
Distribution Functions (PDF) useful in comparing climate model output to remotely sensed
observations. RCMES is also supported by the U.S. National
Science Foundation's G8 Initiative, and its ExArch
program (ID: 1125798).
- JPL's Snow Hydrology Science Computing Facility supporting
analysis of snow optics and properties for the Western US and Alaska, and the Hindu Kush Himalaya
regions of the world.
- The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) South Africa project
-
Specifically helping to support science operations, file management, search and processing of
the KAT-7 and MeerKAT precursor arrays.
- The U.S. National Radio Astronomy Observatory
-
Deployed and supporting the Expanded
Very Large Array (EVLA) program and its data reduction pipeline.
-
National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Early Detection Research Network (EDRN)
-
Over 40 institutions all performing research into discovering biomarkers which
are early indicators of disease.
- NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS)
-
NASA's planetary data archive, a repository and registry for all planetary data collected
over the past 30+ years.
- Children's Hospital of Los Angeles (CHLA)
-
OODT is currently supporting research and data analysis within the Children's Hospital
Los Angeles (CHLA) and its Laura P. and Leland K. Whittier Virtual Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (VPICU).
- NASA's Lunar Mapping and Modeling Project (LMMP)
-
Catalog and Archival of scientific data about the moon. From digitial elevation models to
lunar gravity models to mosaic imagery, the LMMP Project is a core resource for lunar research
and exploration.
