We know how to mass produce and disseminate data. We can even alert you when it is available based on your subscription.

But We cannot stop there.

With new capabilities such as Hyperspectral imagers from space or UAV’s, we opened up Pandora’s box. There is now an infinite way of looking at a particular scene. Are you interested in Fire, Water, Plume/Clouds, Contaminants, Oil Slicks…?

Are you Red Cross, USCG, Forest Service, USDA, First Responder or even NORTHCOM? This might be for you!

Our next challenge is to customize data products to your requirement and deliver it just-in-time for free (if we can).

This might include tasking a satellite or UAV! This might include using the expertise of scientists from NASA JPL or GSFC or even tap into one of many universities cooperating on this project (UMD, WUSTL, UAH, GMU…)

What is the secret sauce we are working on?

OGC standards… of course. and GeoRSS…

Think Workflows (but not BPEL:). Thanks John for your support and a great product with OpenWFEru

and down the road: BPMN…XPDL 2.0?…but that’s another post.

How can a data node make its web services discoverable to an inquiry from an aggregator (like an OGC Catalog)?

One idea might be to use OPML This is nothing more than an outline structure of web services the SWE data node can provide.

The data node can simply add a simple link in the head section of the top page to facilitate auto-discovery:

<link rel=”outline” type=”text/xml+opml” title=”OPML” href=”http://eo1.geobliki.com/geobliki.opml” />

If a user has an OPML reader installed such as this for Firefox, a little icon appears at the bottom of the browser. Click on it to discover the new capabilities.

I would love to get some feedback from the catalog guys :)

Based on tasking done using the SPS, the data was successfully downloaded and quickly processed.

If you subscribed to the EO1 OGC Pubsub Service for “Port Newark”, you have received 2 emails to alert you that the hyperspectral and multi-spectral low-resolution images have just been processed and are available for a quick look.

HIgh resolution imagery will be available in a few days…

Note that using latitude and longitude information, GeoBliki automatically adds addtional meta-data from geonames.net.

Here is the a snap of the JPL site showing the priority replacement record has been successfully loaded onto EO-1.
