MODIS is also a good example of this:
etc.
FWIW, in our work we call something like "MODIS" a collection_family
and "MCD43A4 NBAR" as the collection
. "Aqua" or "Terra" would be eo:platform
.
"MODIS" a
collection_family
and "MCD43A4 NBAR" as thecollection
How is this represented in the catalog? Is a collection_family
a catalog/collection with children collection?
Some datasources provide access to multiple subdatasets. Subdatasets can come from different sensor configurations (ex. CBERS has MUX/AWFI/PAN5M/PAN10M) while other datasources package together multiple item types (ex. NOAA Coast distributes imagery, dem, and lidar data).
In line with creating a single driver for each datasource, I'd like to implement an additional
subdatasets
API keyword which allows the end-user to specify which specific subdatasets to query. This was previously done with theeo:instrument
property (when available) which makes sense for CBERS but less sense for other datasources.This also provides a good opportunity to upgrade the CBERS driver to the earth-search implementation.
