21 January 2010, 11:44pm
Wayland, Mass., 21 January 2010 - The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC®) announces adoption and availability of the OGC Earth
Observation (EO) Application Profile for the OGC Catalogue Services - Web (CSW) Specification 2.0.2. The EO-CSW standard will benefit a wide range of stakeholders involved in the provision and use of data
generated by satellite-borne and aerial radar, optical and atmospheric sensors.
The EO-CSW standard describes a set of interfaces, bindings and encodings that can be implemented in catalog servers that data
providers will use to publish collections of descriptive information (metadata) about Earth Observation data and services. Developers can also implement this standard as part of Web clients that enable data users and their applications to very efficiently search and exploit these collections of Earth Observation data and services.
The standard is available at the link below.
