Data Dictionaries

Data dictionary files for the NASA AIST TOS2CA project.

The data-dictionaries library is part of the of the TOS2CA Project. For more information, visit the TOS2CA website at https://nasa-jpl.github.io/tos2ca-documentation/.

Overview

These data dictionaries contain information about what data products are offered in the Phenomenon Definition (tos2ca-phdef-dictionary.json) and Data Curation (tosca-data-colletion-dictionary.json) phases of TOS2CA.

These dictionaries are in JSON format, using key:value pairs. They include information about the datasets, such as:

• S3 location
• Start and end dates of the data sets
• Variable and coordinate names
• Names of the curator or reader to handle the dataset

For varabiles that do not apply, use can use null as the value for the key.

These are examples only. You will need to customize these data dictionaries for the data sets you would like to use. It would also be a good idea to create a cron job or Lambda service to update the end data of any data sets that are actively producing new data.
