ADES
| |ades|
| See :ref:`processes` section for details, as well as :term:`EMS` for alternative operation mode.
Application Package
General term that refers to *"what and how the :term:`Process` will execute"*. Application Packages provide
the core details about the execution methodology of the underlying operation the :term:`Process` provides, and
are therefore always contained within a :term:`Process` definition. This is more specifically represented
by a :term:`CWL` specification in the case of `Weaver` implementation, but could technically be defined by
another similar approach. See :ref:`Application Package` section for all relevant details.
AWS
Amazon Web Services
CWL
| |cwl|_
| Representation of the internal :term:`Application Package` of the :term:`Process` to provide execution
methodology of the referenced :term:`Docker` image or other supported definitions. See
:ref:`application-package` section for further details.
Docker
Containerized and isolated environment platform that allows all required dependencies of an application or
software to be packaged in a single image in order to correctly execute the virtualized application.
EDAM
Ontology that regroups multiple definitions, amongst which `Weaver` looks up some of its known and supported
:term:`MIME-types` (|edam-link|_) when resolving file formats. It is used as extension to :term:`IANA` media
types by providing additional formats that are more specifics to some data domains.
EMS
| |ems|
| See :ref:`processes` section for details. Alternative mode is :term:`ADES`, which can be selected as defined
by the appropriate :ref:`Configuration` parameter.
ESGF
|esgf|_
ESGF-CWT
|esgf-cwt-git|_
HREF
| Hyperlink Reference
| Often shortened to simply `reference`. Represents either a locally or remotely accessible item, such as a
file or a :term:`Process` depending on context, that uses explicit ``<protocol>://<host/path>``
representation to define its location. See also :ref:`File Reference Types` for typical examples.
I/O
Inputs and/or Outputs of CWL and/or WPS depending on context.
IANA
Ontology that regroups multiple definitions, amongst which `Weaver` looks up most of its known and supported
:term:`MIME-types` (|iana-link|_) when resolving file formats.
JSON
| JavaScript Object Notation
| Default data representation of all objects contained in the application or for their creation.
Job
Definition of a :term:`Process` execution state with applicable operation metadata.
MIME-types
| Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
| Format representation of the referenced element, often represented by :term:`IANA` or :term:`EDAM` ontologies.
OGC
|ogc|_
OGC API - Processes
The new API that defines JSON REST-binding representation of :term:`WPS` :term:`Process` collection.
OpenSearch
Protocol of lookup and retrieval of remotely stored files.
Please refer to :ref:`OpenSearch Data Source` for details.
Process
Entity that describes the required inputs, produced outputs, and any applicable metadata for the execution of
the defined script, calculation, or operation.
S3
Simple Storage Service (:term:`AWS` S3), bucket file storage.
WKT
Well-Known Text geometry representation.
WPS
| Web Processing Service.
| From a formal standpoint, this is the previous :term:`OGC` standard iteration that was employed prior to
:term:`OGC API - Processes` to represent a server that host one or more :term:`Process` for execution.
When compared against :term:`CWL` context or generally across `Weaver` documentation and code, this term
refers to attributes that are specific to typical :term:`Process` description, in contrast to specialized
attributes introduced by other concepts, such as for example :term:`CWL`-specific implementation details.
XML
| Extensible Markup Language
| Alternative representation of some data object provided by the application. Requires appropriate ``Accept``
header to return this format. See :ref:`OpenAPI Specification` for details.
