DM Documents
Controlled Documents
The LSST DMS requirements and high level design are defined in a series of controlled documents. These describe the DMS as it is planned to exist prior to the Operations phase of the LSST project.
Accessing these documents requires a login for DocuShare.
The LSST System Engineering documents are the highest level, project-wide requirements; those listed above pertain in part to the Data Management System. The LSST Data Management documents are those that describe the DMS design, in response to the LSE requirements.
DM Software
The following documents describe the DMS as it exists today, as a functional prototype of the planned system.
The LSST DM Software User Guide will document the high-level design of the LSST pipelines, how to install them, how to run them, and how to use them to develop your own data reduction pipelines (i.e., what modules/APIs are present and appropriate to use under what circumstances). This document will be geared towards the end-users (e.g., Level 3, Science Collaborations) and operators who primarily need to run the code, and also towards developers and advanced users who both need to know how to run it and build on top of it.
The LSST DM Developer Guide will document the processess and capabilities available to LSST DM staff developers. This will include what machines are available, the development procedures for planned changes (tickets, reviews, merging, etc.), how continuous integration operates, data challenges, etc. This will be the second document a new LSST/DM developer will want to read.
