A CUAHSI DataCenter for Hydroinformatics: Draft Specifications

The document included in this resource outlines the initial requirements, design, and implementation of what would become HydroShare. The document is titled \"A CUAHSI DataCenter for Hydroinformatics: Draft Specifications\", and was written in 2012 by Alva Couch. The scope of the document is as follows:

This document is not a complete proposal, nor does it attempt to scientifically justify the above missions of the datacenter. Instead, this document focuses upon the feasibility of accomplishing the above missions, the technical details of doing so, the design of the overall personnel and computing infrastructure necessary to do so, and the cost of that infrastructure.
This document is separated into three logically distinct parts: requirements, design, and implementation.
• The requirements section lists the overall requirements for the datacenter, including mission, relationship to prior work, and perceived high-level challenges of meeting the mission.
• The design section specifies how the datacenter will meet requirements via high-level capabilities, processes, and personnel roles.
• The implementation section describes policy decisions to be made in implementing the design, including a plan for overall sustainability of the datacenter.

本资源所附文档阐述了后续发展为HydroShare的系统的初始需求、设计与实现流程。该文档标题为《面向水信息学的CUAHSI数据中心：规范草案》（A CUAHSI DataCenter for Hydroinformatics: Draft Specifications），由Alva Couch于2012年撰写。文档的涵盖范围如下：

本文档并非一份完整的提案，也未尝试从科学层面论证该数据中心的上述使命。相反，其核心聚焦于达成上述使命的可行性、实现该目标的技术细节、支撑该目标所需的整体人员与计算基础设施设计，以及该基础设施的建设成本。

本文档分为三个逻辑独立的部分：需求、设计与实现。
• 需求部分列出了该数据中心的整体需求，包括使命定位、与前期工作的关联，以及达成该使命所面临的高层次挑战。
• 设计部分阐明了数据中心将如何通过高层次能力、流程及人员角色配置满足各项需求。
• 实现部分详述了落地该设计时需做出的政策决策，包括数据中心整体可持续发展的规划方案。
