GeoBrowser area for data and Cloud processing services¶

Map¶

The map is just a simple map, on which you can zoom in, zoom out and navigate.

Some buttons maybe used to interact with the map:

• search area
• Zoom in
• Zoom out
• Open query search tab
• Edit the search bbox by drawing a polygon on the map
• Edit the search bbox by drawing a rectangle on the map
• Put the map in full screen
• Allow to enter a WKT to be displayed on the map as bounding box
• Measure an area
• Change the background of the map | Select layers to be displayed.

Search area¶

From the geobrowser, a search area can be accessed by clicking on the button. This expands a view containing all search parameters associated to the current catalogue on which the search will be performed. Some parameters are just free text, others can be chosen from a list, and some parameters can be filled from the geobrowser. This is the case of:

• the temporal parameter which can be filled by moving the temporal bar present on the geobrowser.

• the geographical area which can be filled either from the bbox drawn on the map using , , or by uploading a shapefile, a kml or geojson file, using the import button .

Requirement coverage

This section covers TS-FUN-280, TS-FUN-300

Tip

in the Search Term field supported wildcards are ‘*’, which matches any character sequence (including the empty one), and ‘?’, which matches any single character.

It is also possible to add layers on the map:

Data Results layer¶

Display the results (orange polygons) of the current search or context.

Area of interest¶

Area of interest may be defined by the user using the tools to draw a polygon or a rectangle on the map (see Map). Once set, the search will be automatically updated with data corresponding to this AOI.

Area of interest external definition¶

Complex Area of interest can be defined by uploading or referencing a vector based file:

• shapefile (limited to 1MB)
• kml (limited to 1MB)

Area of Interest according to processing service¶

Area of Interest may be directly used to fill bounding box parameters exposed by Processing services. For that, you can use the button, displayed along the parameter input field. Clicking on it will allow directly to fill the input with the value of the current search bounding box.

Contexts¶

Some pre-defined context are accessible on the top of the map. One context is the result of a query on a specific catalog with pre-defined search parameters. The existing pre-defined contexts are:

• EO data
• EO processing
• Publications
• Community

Results¶

The result tab is divided in two parts:

• On the left, the Results Table showing the list of current results displayed on the map. Results are paginatd, only 20 items are displayed, select another page to discover more products.
• On the right, the Features Basket showing all data in the current basket as well as the data package view, showing all available data packages for the current user with the possibility to load it / use as search.

Results can be dragged fron the left table to the basket. Then the basket can be saved as a new data package and shared with other users. Saved Data packages can then be loaded into the basket. (see data for more details)

Processing services tab¶

This tab contains the list of available Processing Services. Usually, only 20 Processing services are displayed. If you are looking for a specific one, you can filter the results using the Filter services input. Each Processing Service can be opened to display more information such as: name, service description, publisher name, classification, output description but also the list of parameters to fill in order to create a new job associated to this service.

Jobs tab¶

This tab contains the list of available jobs associated to your user. Details on jobs can be accessed by clicking on the title of the job.
