LUMASS usage (Models & Data)

[apawlik]

Usage of LUMASS can be roughly divided into 4 different categories:

1) As a modelling framework
2) For raster-based processing with atrribute tables (with SQLite support); similar to ArcGIS
* Similar/based off rasdaman http://www.rasdaman.org/ (?) project however Rasdaman requires DB server running
3) Spatial optimization
4) Possible to include/connect in LUMASS any external tools that are CLI based -- such as GDAL tools

Data in LUMASS

• image data
• database data

Models in LUMASS

• lightweight
• textfile
• relatively small image (binary)
• formats: YAML, XML

Models storage:
- possibly a repository to support versioning?
- challenge is to track the changes between models (XML support?)
- some binary files storage required

Some minimalist models to sit with the core code (in the main LUMASS repository); however some models require large datasets and these datasets should be stored elsewhere (DataStore?)
