Description
Project Topic |
Tasks |
Resources Required |
Major Outcomes |
Total Funding Needed |
Python and Matlab port of GDP client tools (WPS) w/ hooks for ArcGIS Toolbox |
Develop python functions to execute GDP web processing services
Develop python based ArcGIS Toolbox to return GDP data products |
~1 month python developer
~1 month Matlab developer
~1 month ArcGIS developer
Travel Funds for two, three-day face to face meetings. |
Python scripting tools and ArcGIS toolbox to access GDP web processing services. |
Travel $ money for face to face planning and development
~$5k-10k
Funds for contract developer salary
~3 Months FTE |
Additional Criteria
- No ArcGIS or other software required
- Python 2.5, 2.7 etc
Benefit to FSP/Scientists/Mission Areas
The creation of a python module will allow many commonly-used scientific software tools (ArcGIS, Python, R, Matlab, Microsoft Office)
In kind funding and work leveraged
- Leverages Geo Data Portal (link etc) to make it easily accessible to scientists through common scientific toolboxes (especially ArcGIS, Excel).
Interaction with DMWG
Review of software distribution for appropriate metadata, policy implications
Deliverable and its Measurable Benefit

Methodology (process)
- Coding (contractor assistance)
- Distribution/publishing
- Include in USGS ArcGIS distribution, available on all USGS ArcGIS Desktops
- Open SOurce
- Ubuntu Distribtion (Personal Package archive
