EOxServer Demonstration

The currently available functionality includes:

• 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 Dataset Series as a collection of EO Coverages e.g. in a time series
• Support of new DescribeEOCoverageSet operation on Dataser 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 (tested)
  • XML/POST (used together with SOAP2POST Proxy (currently available for WCS 1.1) 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
