Earth Observation Data catalogue
EO Data Catalogue provides data discovery services to the users. It stores information about metadata of Earth Observation products and allows users to make efficient metadata queries (e.g., footprint, observation date, acquisition date, name, description, cloud cover etc.) through OData, OpenSearch and STAC API interfaces or through Data Explorer GUI interface.
User benefits
- Access to tens of millions of EO data products at a glance
- Advanced search and filtering capabilities based on EO product attributes and metadata
- Flexible access through API or GUI interface.
API
Catalogue API enables users for advanced search within data catalogue in three well-known standards:
OData Catalogue
OData, an ESA-adopted standard based on HTTPS RESTful API, enables the creation and editing of resources identified by URLs and defined in a data model using simple HTTPS messages. This standard allows the development of REST-based data services, enabling web clients to publish and edit resources recognized by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and described in a data model with straightforward HTTPS messages.
Open Search Catalogue
The Open Search API employs the same catalog backend as the EO Data ICD compliant interface, allowing users to utilize identical criteria to search and access data products across available repositories. Queries can be executed as simple HTTP-GET calls, either by typing the query in a web browser address bar, using any HTTP client such as curl or wget, or from within the user's program.
STAC Catalogue
The Spatio Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC) API is a powerful tool for discovering and accessing geospatial data. It provides a standardized, flexible, and easy-to-use interface for querying and retrieving metadata and assets related to satellite imagery and other geospatial datasets.
STAC is a relatively new web service specification for catalogues but is increasingly used and supported, becoming a main standard in the Earth Observation community.
User benefits
- Easy Data Search thanks to simple HTTP-GET calls and HTTPS messages
- Efficient Data Discovery using standardized queries
- Flexible Filtering for precise searching through tens of millions of products
- Quick access to all user level EO data products
Data Explorer
Data Explorer is a user friendly and intuitive GUI, which helps users to navigate in the Earth Observation repository. This interface enables users not only to search for desired datasets, but also choose from variety of attributes eg. imagery type, cloud coverage, sensing dates.
Through our Data Explorer you can easily find and download data of your interest. Thanks to integration with Workspace and Processing center, you can also use our Product Generation Service, a serverless processing service, which allows easy mass processing of EO products without using virtual machines.
Data Explorer benefits
- Easy and intuitive GUI
- EO product download and processing directly from Data Explorer
- Complete set of attributes for high efficient queries
- Additional tools available for even more comfortable search eg. AOI tool, geometry upload
Local S3
