A colleague of mine asked me about using GN for his data collection. I
couldn't respond to whether GN would be a good fit or not.
He has a collection of remote sensing imagery that gets updated about twice
a day. Roughly 20 new images come in each time. Each image is stored on on
a file server, and with each new image comes a new record inside a text
file. That's it. We thought about writing a script that reads this
inventory text file and updates the GN database. Not sure if this is
possible or would cause other problems. No web services are planned at this
moment; data would be downloaded as flat files.
Has anyone seen GN used in this type of manner, or would argue for or
against GN here? Thanks.
