Scorpion is part of the RDC management and governance layer. It collects and visualizes KPIs useful for the review process. Scorpion offers a REST API as well as a form in the GUI to submit KPIs for a service on a monthly basis. Additionally, it offers basic visualisations of the measurements to help the NFDI4Biodiversity Service Review Committee to decide what measures need to be taken to ensure the service complies with our definition of quality.
Scorpion is a system developed to monitor KPIs for services of the NFDi4Biodiversity Service Catalog. In our context, KPIs are mostly focussed on usage of a service (e.g. Number of Unique Users). The KPI measurements are submitted in a push approach, so that every service provider is responsible for submitting their KPI measurements on a monthly basis to Scorpion. The system itself is structured in several layers:
Scorpion is currently under development and only available in a closed beta phase. Users of the beta phase can register to get an account. As described in the following sections, users can contribute KPI measurements through the Graphical User Interface (GUI), Developers can programatically access all available KPI measurements and necessary meta-information.
Scorpion provides access through its User Interface to all necessary features to submit KPI measurements for a particular service. Upon service registration through the system administration, users can submit measurements on a monthly basis. Features available are:
As Scorpion is in a closed beta phase, a comprehensive documentation can only be provided on request in form of a hands-on session.
Scorpion has an administration view, which is only available to administrators. This view can be used to add new entities (e.g. service, KPI, category) to the system.
