Develop an LTER NIS Best Practices for Designing and Writing Workflow Scripts in the PASTA Framework

Principal Investigator(s):

The PASTA Framework infrastructure of the LTER Network Information System (NIS) will support the automated execution of site provided scripts to simplify the process of creating and updating LTER synthetic and derived data products. Scripts will be required to meet specific criteria to operate successfully in the PASTA Framework environment. Such criteria will necessitate training for information managers to understand the script execution environment and how to best write a script for the PASTA Framework.
