Types of Data Used at LEAP

Within the LEAP project we distinguish between several different types of data mostly based on whether the data was used or produced at LEAP and if the data is already accessible in ARCO formats in the cloud.

LEAP produced

Data that has been created or modified by LEAP researchers. We currently do not provide any way of ensuring that data is archived, and users should never rely on LEAP-Pangeo resources as the only replicate of valuable data (see also Data Ingestion Workflows).

LEAP ingested

Data that is already publically available but has been ingested into cloud storage in ARCO formats. The actual data/metadata has not been modified from the original.

LEAP curated

Data that is already available in ARCO formats in publically accessible object storage. Adding this data to the LEAP-Pangeo Catalog enables us to visualize it with the Data Viewer, and collect all datasets of importance in one single location, but none of the data itself is modified.

Roles

Many different people at LEAP interact with data in various ways. Here is a list of typical roles (some people have multiple roles):
