EOxServer

Web Service

EOxServer is a server for Earth Observation (EO) data. More precisely it is a Python application and framework for presenting EO data and metadata.

EOxServer’s mission: To provide an Open Source software framework to ease the online provision of big Earth Observation data archives via Open Standard services for efficient exploitation by users.

  • Open Source: MIT-style license
  • software framework: Entirely based on Open Source (Python, MapServer, Django/GeoDjango, GDAL, SpatiaLite, or PostGIS, and PROJ.4)
  • ease online provision: Admin GUI and command line data registration
  • big Earth Observation data archives: Operators register existing raster data archives
  • Open Standard services: Open in the sense of freely available; Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC); WMS, WCS, EO-WMS, EO-WCS
  • efficient exploitation by users: User defined sub-setting; view and download

Core Features

The available core features are:

  • Support of GML AP – Coverages for RectifiedGridCoverages
  • Support of adopted WCS 2.0 specification (Core including GetCapabilities, DescribeCoverage, and GetCoverage requests, KVP-, and XML/POST protocol binding)
  • Anticipated support of envisaged extensions: Coverage format, GeoTIFF encoding, predefined (or EPSG) CRSs, scaling & interpolation, and non-referenced access. By “anticipating” we mean to reflect the latest WCS.SWG discussions as well as to follow the relevant parts of the previous 1.1 and 1.0 versions of WCS.
  • Support of 2-D EO Coverages derived from gmlcov:RectifiedGridCoverage
  • Support of 2-D EO Coverages derived from gmlcov:ReferenceableGridCoverage
  • Support of Dataset Series as a collection of EO Coverages e.g. in a time series
  • Support of new DescribeEOCoverageSet operation on Dataset Series and EO Coverages
  • Support of Stitched Mosaic of Rectified EO Coverages including concept of contributingFootprint
  • Support of EO Metadata (retrieval and evaluation in DescribeEOCoverageSet operation)
  • Protocoll bindings supported:
  • KVP
  • XML/POST (used together with SOAP2POST Proxy to support XML/SOAP protocol binding)
  • Coverage formats supported:
  • GeoTIFF
  • Formats supported by the GDAL library (support needs to be verified for each required format separately)
  • Support of EO-WMS for EO Coverages

Implemented Standards

  • Support of numerous Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards
    • WCS, EO-WCS
    • WMS, EO-WMS
    • GML, GMLCOV, EO-O&M
