Upload Requirements

UR-1

The UI should provide a way for users to upload files to supplement their investigation / visit data.

As a DGW user, I want to be able to supplement my data that I’ve collected as part of my visit to the DLS facility.

Deciding to append datasets to investigations

UR-2

The UI should provide a way for users to upload any file type but . XML files.

As a DGW user I don’t want to download any potential files that impose a security threat.

As zenodo do

UR-3

The UI should notify the user if their total number of files exceeds 10GB in size.

As a data distributor, we don’t want the system to be abused.

Can be changed, but for now 10GB seems sensible based on testing

UR-4

The UI should provide feedback on the upload progress.

As a DGW user, I want to be informed as to how my upload is progressing

UR-5

The UI should provide the ability for users to stop a resume their uploads at a later date.

As a DGW user, I want to be able to navigate away from the DGW webpage and have my uploads resume on my return.

tus.io provides resumable uploads

UR-6

The UI should allow users to view their uploaded data.

As a DGW user, I want to be able to view the data I have uploaded.

UR-7

The UI should allow users to download their uploaded data.

As a DGW user, I want to be able to download the data I have uploaded.

FR-1

The system should validate the uploaded data for integrity and completeness.

As a data provider, we must ensure all uploaded data is correct.

So partial files are not uploaded

FR-2

The system should support concurrent uploads from multiple users.

As a data provider, we need to be able to provide upload functionality to more than one user at a time.

FR-3

The system should handle the transfer of large data files securely

As a user, who has some commercial data stored in ICAT, I want to make sure that all uploaded data is not available to other ICAT users

It is assumed that uploaded data will not need to be encrypted in transit.

FR-4

The system should email all users involved in the experiment that some new data has been uploaded.

As a member of an experiment, I want to be notified when another member uploads some new data.

assuming all investigation users will want to receive an email

FR-5

The system should ultimately store the newly uploaded data where existing data is held, on tape

As a data provider, we don’t want to maintain lots of different storage systems, with data fragmented across them.

CR-1

The system should not allow the users to delete their uploaded dataset

As a data provider, we do not provide the ability for users to delete their data

It is not currently possible in DGW anyway

CR-2

Only the Principal Investigator of the visit should be able to upload data

As a Principal Investigator of a visit, I don’t want everyone involved in the visit to be able to upload data.

Assumed

CR-3

The system should use the existing DataGateway User Interface

As a user, I want to view, download and upload my data in a single place.
