Datacube Standards and their Contribution to Analysis-Ready Data
Peter Baumann · 2018
Flexible, scalable services on massive geo data receive much attention today. OGC has taken a lead in defining interoperable spatio-temporal datacubes (the coverage paradigm) together with flexible scalable Web services (the Web Coverage Service / WCS standards suite). This OGC Big Geo Data standard has attracted all major implementers of both open-source and proprietary servers and clients. We present status, uptake, and recent progress of the coverage datacube standards in OGC, ISO, and INSPIRE.
