Sensor mode. Possible values are mission specific and should
be retrieved using codespace. (eg. PHR : PA, XS or PX).
Image resolution
Swath identifier (e.g. Envisat ASAR has 7 distinct swaths (I1,I2,I3...I7) that correspond to precise incidence angles for the sensor). Value list can be retrieved with codeSpace.
Defines the observation result, i.e. the Earth Observation Product
Defines the acquisition footprint, i.e. the region observed by the Instrument
Acquisition footprint coordinates, described by a closed polygon (last point=first point), using CRS:WGS84, Latitude,Longitude pairs (per-WGS84 definition of point ordering, not necessarily per all WFS implementations). Expected structure is gml:Polygon/gml:exterior/gml:LinearRing/gml:posList.
eop/EOLI : polygon/coordinates (F B b s)
Acquisition center coordinates. Expected structure is gml:Point/gml:pos.
eop/EOLI : scCenter/coordinates (F B b s)
Browse type. Possible values are : THUMBNAIL, QUICKLOOK and ALBUM.
Value is mission specific. Value list can be retrieved with codeSpace. Not used by PHR. For MODIS : OPTICAL, THERMAL
Indicates if browse is geo-referenced, and thus can be assumed to be displayed directly on a map (in which case should point to a code space for the CRS), when not supplied it is assumed that the browse is provided in "raw" satellite frame of reference
Path to the browse image (could be any kind of URL :
direct link to the image or WMS/WCS interface), it is assumed that if a client is prepared to "manage" a browse delivered by e.g. WMS they would parse the URL to identify that it contains the OGC standard SERVICE=WMS
Indicates if product is geo-referenced, (in which case should point to a code space for the CRS), when not supplied it is assumed that the browse is provided in "raw" satellite frame of reference
Path to the actual product data if available online (could be any kind of URL :
direct link to the image or WMS/WCS interface), it is assumed that if a client is prepared to "manage" a product delivered by e.g. WCS they would parse the URL to identify that it contains the OGC standard SERVICE=WCS
Product version
Product size (bytes) allowing the user to realise how long a download is likely to take
Processing centre code. Possible values are mission specific
and should be retrieved using codespace.
Processing date time
Composite type of product, if available
Method used to compute datalayer. (e.g. Kalman filtering, ROSE)
Method version (e.g. 1.0)
Processor sofware name (e.g. FastROSE)
Processor software version (e.g. 1.0)
Processing level applied to the product
Native product format
Mask type. Possible values are : SNOW, CLOUD and QUALITY
Mask format. Possible values are : RASTER or VECTOR
Indicates if mask is geo-referenced, and thus can be assumed to be displayed directly on a map (in which case should point to a code space for the CRS), when not supplied it is assumed that the mask is provided in "raw" satellite frame of reference
Path to the mask (could be any kind of URL :
direct link to the image or WMS/WCS interface in case of RASTER mask; direct link to the file or WFS interface in case of VECTOR file), it is assumed that if a client is prepared to "manage" a mask delivered by e.g. WMS they would parse the URL to identify that it contains the OGC standard SERVICE=WMS
Mask defined as a feature collection (in the GML 3.2 sense : a feature collection is a feature having a property derived by extension from gml:AbstractFeatureMemberType). Mandates the following optional gml properties inherited from gml:_Feature :
- gml:id attribute
- gml:name
- gml:boundedBy
Note : the upcoming gml:identifier will replace eop:identifier in GML 3.2
Mask member : . Mandates the following optional gml properties inherited from gml:_Feature :
- gml:id attribute
- gml:name
- gml:boundedBy
Note : the upcoming gml:identifier will replace eop:identifier in GML 3.2
Mask type. Value list can be retrieved with codeSpace
Mask member extent. Expected structure is gml:Polygon/gml:exterior/gml:LinearRing/gml:posList with 0 to n gml:Polygon/gml:interior/gml:LinearRing/gml:posList elements representing the holes.
Container for ad-hoc metadata that does not merit a mission specific schema or extension, the localAttribute describes the name of the attribute
Container for ad-hoc metadata that does not merit a mission specific schema or extension, the localAttribute describes the value of the attribute
Identifier for metadata item, includes ground segment codespace to guarantee uniqueness within eop :
urn:eop:GS:CollectionId:ProductId
Digital Object Identifier identifying the product
Collection identifier
Refers to product status. PHR : always "ACQUIRED"
Used to distinguish at a high level the appropriateness of the acquisition for "general" use, whether the product is a nominal acquisition, special calibration product or other. Values:
- NOMINAL
- CALIBRATION
- OTHER
More specific information (i.e. platform and sensor specific values) are expressed within the imageSubType tag.
The mission specific type definition should refer to mission/ground segment dedicated codeSpace.
Describes product type in case that mixed types are available within a single collection. This is ground segment specific definition
Must be expressed in percents. EOLI N/A (attTypes/attName ?)
Indicator to know how the quality quotation has been calculated.
