To query and discover EO Data, the demonstration platform hosts a Spatio Temporal Asset Catalog (STAC) server which has a custom web interface and an associated API. The web interface is accessible through the web portal’s landing page by clicking on ‘EO Browser’. Users can both browse and search through catalogues of available EO data. EO data that is currently indexed includes both raw (Level-1) and pre-processed datasets.
EO data collections can be searched through a web browser. A corresponding API (documented at www.stacspec.org) provides programmatic access to the EO metadata index with a wide variety of metadata field parameters available for searching.
