> We are buliding the tool so we can run an instance at each of our
> data centres (and elsewhere), and the gateway can poll the feed to
> upload the information (Maurizio is working on that piece for the
> gateway team). (An eventual extension will be to allow the qc-tools
> to peer with each other, but that's not a priority in the next two
> weeks).

> It occurs to me that ideally the qc-level-2 tool is producing some

>
> 1) we have have a specialistaion of DQ_Element that allows result to
> have three DQ_Result attributes and we
>
> 2) introduce a new specialisation of DQ_Result which is essentially a
> plot/image result which could be uploaded and stored ....
>
> (We should do this anyway, since I can see a lot of other uses for
> it, not just CMIP5 qc-level-2 - we have a real EO application for it
> right now ...)
>
> Is the qc-tool producing plots, and should we have this facility as a
> priority?
