Hi Elizabeth,

Below in the email are Mark Perry's comments for the GIOTTO data set.  The lines from Minor problems onward.  

Could you add this to the review site?

Thanks,
--Tilden

Ludmilla,

The good news is that I found only minor problems with the GIOTTO dataset. I
list them, below. In general, the documentation and dataset are excellent
and complete.

 

The other news:

--I did not do a thorough review that included reproducing published
results. Since this is an older dataset, I assumed that has been done
several times, already.

--I have a conflict and will not be able to participate in the telecon this
afternoon.

 

If there are questions, please let me know and I will be able to respond
tonight.

 

Thanks,

Mark

 

Minor problems with the GIOTTO dataset:

  1. Aareadme.txt states that there are additional NMS documentation at the
     ESA servers and at the PDS node; these should be included in the dataset
     or at least identified by name and web link.
  2. The aareadmet.txt reference to “this CD-ROM” should be replaced with
     “this dataset.”
  3. I understand that Kathrin Altwegg is retiring. If true, then the contact
     person should be someone who is still active. Kathrin Altwegg should be
     retained as a “Legacy contact person.”
  4. The three dissertations that are referenced are in German. They are
     scanned documents, so they cannot be converted to English using a
     translation program. If the original digital text is available (unlikely
     as these are 20 to 30 years old) for any of the documents, those should
     replace the scanned versions so that a dedicated user could translate
     sections of the document.
  5. The dataset.cat file is particularly useful, describing calibration,
     data quality, and uncertainty calculations. Some of the references are
     for the documents (dissertations) that are only available in German. If
     possible, these references used in dataset.cat should be replaced with
     references that are in English.
  6. The NOTES directory is not in the downloadable tar file.
  7. The liens.txt file (in the NOTES directory) contains comments and needed
     corrections from a previous review; those comments have not been
     addressed, yet.
