Providing an End-to-End Solution for Data Customization with NASA's Earthdata Search
Abstract
The goal of NASA's Earthdata Search End-to-End Services workflow is to take the pain and headache out of searching for data and getting that data back in a format that is usable with only that data that is relevant for you. For too long scientists have had to jump through endless hoops, use tools that only offer specific data or specific services, and perform any number of other non-science tasks just to get started on their actual project. Earthdata Search leverages the Common Metadata Repository's (CMR) newly implemented Unified Metadata Model for Services and Variables as well as a new service broker to expose and seamlessly integrate a collection's service capabilities and variables into an intuitive user interface. Using the new End-to-End Services workflow, scientists will be able to quickly see what data is available to be customized, what customization options are available, and actually perform those customizations on the data all within Earthdata Search, regardless of who the data provider is. This talk will demonstrate the simple workflow that will be available to end users and also give an overview covering how the workflow is enabled by the metadata stored within the CMR.
