Earth Observation DataHub
The Earth Observation data Hub (EODH) project aims to develop and operate a new centralised software infrastructure – a DataHub – to provide a new ‘single point’ of access for UK EO data offerings from distributed public and commercial centres.
The Earth Observation DataHub will be a place where the UK EO data community can access and develop new EO services and tools, all based on a standardised set of services and APIs.
EODH is initially a pathfinder project that will bring new thinking and experimental developments that will result in practical services for users. By the end of the initial project phase, EODH expect to have a community of researchers, industry and government working together to provide Earth observation data in new and innovative ways.
