Adding datastores to the catalog#
Adding your datastore to the ACCESS-NRI catalog is an easy way to make your data findable and useable by others
in the community. If you’ve created an Intake-ESM datastore for your data using one of the access-nri-intake
Builders, then it should be trivial to add it to the catalog. In addition to your functioning datastore, all that’s
required is a file called metadata.yaml
containing core high-level metadata describing your data - see the
section on metadata.yaml files.
Submitting a data request#
Please open a catalog data request here.
Please don’t feel like you need to have a datastore and metadata.yaml
ready before submitting a request -
we’re happy to help you through the process.
Note
Datastores don’t have to have been created by access-nri-intake Builders in order to be added to the catalog. If you have an Intake-ESM datastore (or indeed another type of Intake source) that you think should be in the catalog, please open a catalog data request.
Warning
If you are providing an existing Intake-ESM datastore to be added to access-nri-intake-catalog
, the
datastore must be in its final form before you make a data request. If a datastore is changed
after we have verified that we are able to ingest it, it will break future catalog builds and may be
removed.
If you need to update a datastore that is already in access-nri-intake-catalog
, please contact us as
described above.
