Tools to enhance, catalogue, and consume geospatial data-streams from Copernicus

The SDL will be extended with Semantic Web standards providing a framework for explicitly describing the data models implicit in EO and other gridded data streams to enhance downstream display and manipulation of data. This also provides a framework where multiple metadata standards can be described. Most importantly, these data models and metadata standards can be interrelated, a key step in creating interoperability, and an important step in being able to ‘re-map’ various metadata formats in compliance with the standards as put forward by the INPIRE Spatial Data Services Working Group.
