InSight Mission

InSight Cameras Raw Data Product Peer Review

Overview

The Planetary Data System requires a proposed archive to pass a peer review before it can be archived. The purpose of the review is to ensure that the data set is scientifically useful, well documented, and accessible to scientists. PDS is conducting this review of the InSight Cameras Raw Data Product according to the customary procedure for mission-generated collections that are delivered over time. Before data acquisition begins, the design of the data products is reviewed as demonstrated in a Software Interface Specification (SIS) document and a simulated sample product. Then, when actual data are delivered, they are checked to ensure that they comply with the design specified in the SIS.

As a reviewer of the InSight Cameras Raw Data Products, you are asked to read the SIS documents as if you were preparing to use the data in your research. Below is a list of suggested review criteria. Feel free to comment on any aspect of the archive, tools, and documentation. If a criterion is not your area of expertise, you do not have to comment on it.

Are the data products described scientifically useful?
Do the proposed labels properly describe the data files?
Is the documentation complete and accurate?
Do you have any recommendations with regard to data format, organization, label content, etc., that differ from the proposed data products?
Does the data set meet PDS4 standards?

NOTE: Please also read through Known Issues and TBDs prior to beginning your review. These are a set of items in development with an accompanying rationale.

See the Help section below for more additional information on the peer review process, PDS4, and other FAQs.

Please email your comments to Jordan Padams by Wednesday, December 2, 2015. Be as specific as you can in order to help the data providers improve the data set. Thank you for participating in the InSight Cameras Raw Data Product Peer Review.

Materials

Data and Data Dictionaries
- InSight Cameras Archive Bundle (online) (tar.gz) (zip) - Formerly known as the volume or data set, the archive bundle contains all of the documentation and sample products applicable to this review.
- PDS4 Data Dictionaries - the XML Schema documents that define the PDS4 labels that describe the data. The dictionaries used are available in the sample archive bundle and online at the PDS Engineering Node:
  - PDS Master v1.5.0.0 (xsd) (sch)
  - Imaging v1.2.0.0 (xsd) (sch) - in development
  - Geometry v1.2.0.0 (xsd) (sch) - in development
  - Insight v1.0.0.0 (xsd) (sch) - in development

Schedule

Date	Event
Monday, November 2, 2015	Review begins; Sample PDS4 bundle is made available to reviewers. Reviewers have four weeks to examine the bundle and send written comments to Jordan Padams.
Wednesday, December 2, 2015	All reviewer's comments are due.
Monday, December 7, 2015	Reviewer's comments and liens summary, in the form of a table, is distributed to all reviewers and the InSight Cameras team.
Wednesday, December 16, 2015	The InSight Cameras team responds to comments and liens by indicating, in the table, any action to be taken or not. Updated table will be redistributed.
Monday, January 11, 2016	If necessary, all reviewers and data providers participate in a teleconference to resolve any outstanding issues.
Friday, January 15, 2016	InSight Cameras Peer Review officially closes.

Known Issues and TBDs

This section will briefly describe some of the known issues and/or items still to be determined regarding the InSight cameras archive and the PDS4 Information Model. If any of these are a concern, please raise them in your peer review comments.

Insight ICC/IDC partially processed, calibrated, and derived data (also known as RDRs) are still in development. This review only covers Insight ICC/IDC Raw Data Products (EDRs), including accompanying documentation. A Delta Peer Review will be scheduled for some time in early 2016 to cover the remaining data and any updates to the raw data.
The Imaging, Geometry, and Insight dictionaries are not officially released. Since InSight is the first mission to use large parts of these dictionaries, this peer review great test case to ensure the data is being properly defined. Once the review has completed, and any recommended updates have been made to the dictionaries, they will move to official release and the label schema locations will be updated accordingly.
The Array_2D_Image and Array_3D_Image classes may become Array class. There are current discussions going on in the PDS4 Data Design Working Group about replacing the Array_2D_Image and Array_3D_Image classes with the Array class. If this occurs, the products will be updated accordingly. It is important to the Imaging Node and the mission that we attempt to stay as consistent as possible across missions moving forward.
The browse images in this example bundle may not be the final browse products. Currently, there are ongoing discussions amongst the instrument team regarding what the browse images should be for these data. This is issue will be resolved prior to the Delta Peer Review in early 2016.
