Big Data Standards and Analysis-Readiness: Status and Evolution

摘要

Flexible, scalable services on massive Earth data receive much attention today, in particular spatio-temporal data homogenized into datacubes. OGC has taken a lead in defining interoperable spatio-temporal datacubes through its coverage paradigm, together with tailored services, the Web Coverage Service (WCS) standards suite. This OGC Big Geo Data standard has attracted a who's who of 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, in particular the ongoing work on the OpenAPI based OAPI-Coverages specification.
