Exploring the OpenSearch extension to disseminate Earth Observation Data

The usage of Earth observation data, produced and managed by space agencies around the world, is extremely important in many areas of application, however the access is not always easy or simple. Space agencies adopt different forms for the provision of their data, so that users have to understand and be able to interact with different technologies and different catalogs. More recently, international organizations that bring together different space agencies have sought to set standards, specifications and best practices for building catalogs that are more simple and interoperable. This work aims to apply the standard specifications of the OpenSearch in the Earth observation data produced by INPE in order to make its dissemination simpler and more standardized.
