Many web-based platforms provide access to satellite Earth Observation (EO) data, now often combined with cloud computing resources and applications. Users benefit from the ability to process data remotely, bypassing traditional download and storage limitations. Our vision is to enhance interoperability between these platforms to create an open network for seamless data access.

To achieve this, we are establishing best practices for EO exploitation platforms based on open standards and developing a reference implementation of building blocks as free open source software. This project is sponsored by the European Space Agency (ESA), started in 2018 and aims to demonstrate the architecture and software in operational platforms.
