This is the home of the Data Management (DM) Team. Content will be migrated (and re-organized) from trac/wiki over the next several months.
DM Documents
Documents that pertain to the Data Management System software are summarized below, and are described in detail in specific pages.
The LSST Project and DMS requirements and design documents are controlled, and are accessible through a special repository (which requires an account). These documents describe the DMS system as it is intended to exist by the end of the LSST construction phase.
DM Software
The following documents describe the DMS as it exists today, as a functional prototype of the planned system.
The LSST Software User Guide describes 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.
Project Planning
Project development during the Design/Development phase of LSST has consisted largely of Data Challenges.
Presentations
Links to DM presentations (power-point slides, conference papers, and links to journal articles) will appear here.
