Progress Post Type: FinalReport
This is the official "end-of-project" progress post as required by JISC for monitoring purposes. However, although the funded period of this project has ended, development and promotion will continue, and this blog will continue to be updated.
Title of Primary Project Output: BlogMyData: A Virtual Research Environment for collaborative visualization of environmental data
Screenshots or diagram of prototype: See All Hands presentation: Presentation given at AHM2010
Description of Prototype: The BlogMyData VRE allows scientists to explore data visually using a dynamic web interface, then make comments about features in the data on a blog. Colleagues discover these blog entries and offer further information, providing answers to research questions through comments.
End User of Prototype: Practising scientist in a team, perhaps jointly interpreting the results of a complex climate simulation.
Link to working prototype: The data used in the VRE pilot are not public and so we cannot at present provide a public link. In the meantime, this screencast provides a good overview of capabilities: New demonstration video.
Link to end user documentation: Documentation for the use of the Godiva2 front-end can be found here. End-user documentation for the blogging component still needs to be written.
Link to code repository or API: Code for front-end visualization (Godiva2) is kept at http://ncwms.sf.net; code for back-end blog engine is kept in Soton (TBD)
Date prototype was launched: The prototype has been available for test users for several months, although more "polishing" is needed before a wider release can be made.
