OGC® EO Data Access Best Practice

This OGC Best Practice document details proposed configuration and instantiation conventions for access to Earth Observation (EO) data developed in the European Space Agency (ESA) funded project Evolution of EO Online Data Access Services (EVO-ODAS).

It defines how to utilize WCS with EO products including generic conventions and recommendations for data and metadata mapping and conversion which are to be used in concrete tailoring for specific missions. It further considers how to link to other services like CSW, WMS, and WPS.
