This page is a place to gather up missing or underspecified requirements that would prevent or hinder us from delivering construction. 

  • What are the open science questions that we must answer in order for the institutional science leads to deliver their products?
  • What in the DMSR (i.e. misspecified or underspecified requirements) impairs our ability to deliver on the institutional requirements, and to verify that we've done so?
  • How do we want to prioritize these?

Clear specification of the capabilities or at least use cases for the Alert Database

Called the "(Historical) Alert Archive" in requirements.  Use cases have never been clearly established.

(Eric Bellm  wrote Alert Database Use Cases and Draft Requirements but it has never been formalized)

DMS-REQ-0094 (1b)

DM-19711 - Getting issue details... STATUS DM-23767 - Getting issue details... STATUS


Specification of the image and image cutout services


In progress 

https://dmtn-139.lsst.io/v/DM-22746/index.html

Specification of user-facing bulk download services, if any

(data-center-to-data-center bulk transfer is the only part originally captured in the requirements)
In progress by Unknown User (mbutler) and Gregory Dubois-Felsmann with the aim of enabling a considered decision by the project to accept, or not, an upscope in this area.





Specification of the user-facing batch servicesIs this just "traditional batch" access by ssh-ing to a central batch control node and submitting a traditional job specification (essentially, a request to run a particular command line on a batch worker node)?  Or something more API-friendly?  A UWS service?  Something integrated with notebooks?  Something PipelineTask-aware?


In progress https://dmtn-202.lsst.io/
Proposed capability for generation of DOIs for queriesIt has been proposed to enable the creation of DOIs (possibly by a third party acting on our behalf) for queries: for query specifications and/or for query results (as lists of Object/Source/image IDs).DMS-REQ-0291 (1b), Query Repeatability, in the discussion states that the ability to create DOIs for query specifications would be desirable


Requirements on masking satellite trails Just masking? Do we need to add model fitting?  How will the wings of the trails behave? None. PST consensus is that we need to add someWait til we can get a update from Clare when she is back

Alerts on sub-threshold DIASources

The DPDD says

Also, the system will have the ability to measure and alert on a limited (It will be sized for no less than $\sim$10\% of average \DIASource per visit rate) number of sources detected below the nominal threshold for which additional criteria are satisfied. For example, a $transSNR$ = 3 source detection near a gravitational keyhole may be highly significant in assessing the danger posed by a potentially hazardous asteroid. The initial set of criteria will be defined by the start of LSST operations.
