“…Currently, the vast majority of metadata catalogs relate to geographical data (e.g., map agency's products) and only a few of them concern EO data [44]. EO products are normally distributed by the data producers as scenes or granules (a spatial fragment of a satellite path) of data with a metadata document for each scene.…”

“…To tackle this issue and store relevant metadata information about satellite data (e.g., acquisition, sensing, and bands) in a online metadata catalog, the XML schema ISO 19139-2 extends the original metadata schema to support additional aspects more significant for the gridded and imagery information defined in ISO19115-2, and offers an interesting possible solution [44]. Additionally, the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC, https://stacspec.org) is under substantial development.…”

Earth observations data cubes (EODCs) are a paradigm transforming the way users interact with large spatio-temporal Earth observation (EO) data. It enhances connections between data, applications and users facilitating management, access and use of analysis ready data (ARD). The ambition is allowing users to harness big EO data at a minimum cost and effort. This significant interest is illustrated by various implementations that exist. The novelty of the approach results in different innovative solutions and the lack of commonly agreed definition of EODC. Consequently, their interoperability has been recognized as a major challenge for the global change and Earth system science domains. The objective of this paper is preventing EODC from becoming silos of information; to present how interoperability can be enabled using widely-adopted geospatial standards; and to contribute to the debate of enhanced interoperability of EODC. We demonstrate how standards can be used, profiled and enriched to pave the way to increased interoperability of EODC and can help delivering and leveraging the power of EO data building, efficient discovery, access and processing services.

“…In this term, the geoportal provides effective solutions to the geospatial data interoperability; it facilitates the multi-source data integration and enables the stakeholders to access the geospatial information and maps in the standard formats [3]. The geoportals connect the geospatial data producers and consumers directly and improve collaboration and cooperation among the various stakeholders, leverage existing geospatial resources, and ease the finding of relevant geospatial products; hence, it plays a key role in preventing duplicated efforts, inconsistencies, delays, and wasted time and resources [4]. The geoportal is one of the key components that are needed for establishing spatial data infrastructure (SDI) [5].…”

Over the past few decades, geoportals have been considered as the key technological solutions for easy access to Earth observation (EO) products, and the implementation of spatial data infrastructure (SDI). However, less attention has been paid to developing an efficient model for crowdsourcing EO products through geoportals. To this end, a new model called the “Open Community-Based Crowdsourcing Geoportal for Earth Observation Products” (OCCGEOP) was proposed in this study. The model was developed based on the concepts of volunteered geographic information (VGI) and community-based geoportals using the latest open technological solutions. The key contribution lies in the conceptualization of the frameworks for automated publishing of standard map services such as the Web Map Service (WMS) and the Web Coverage Service (WCS) from heterogeneous EO products prepared by volunteers as well as the communication portion to request voluntary publication of the map services and giving feedback for quality assessment and assurance. To evaluate the feasibility and performance of the proposed model, a prototype implementation was carried out by conducting a pilot study in Iran. The results showed that the OCCGEOP is compatible with the priorities of the new generations of geoportals, having some unique features and promising performance.

Relations that Show the Network Potential for Spatial Data Sharing

Physical and functional cooperation based on a certain hierarchy among public institutions, local governments, private sectors and all other industries that work with spatial data is a very important dynamic. This cooperation between organizations or individuals is actually built with unofficial networks that are not bound by predefined rules. By utilizing network analysis, a formal presentation of the existing collaborations and communication networks can be made.The questions that were asked to organizations during the research were selected to determine various issues such as their collaborations within the network, data exchange potential and awareness to understand the direction of the flow. This study provided an insight into the organizations that should be prioritized in any regulation and initiative on the spatial data infrastructure (SDI). Furthermore, it is proposed that organizations that are currently less active with spatial data can play a more active role with the quantitative and qualitative increase in e-applications.
