Abstract
WCS for INSPIRE: Analyzing Massive Spatio-Temporal Datacubes

The transatlantic EarthServer initiative has made spatio-temporal analytics a commodity for scientists, engineers, and decision makers. By utilizing novel parallel Array Database technology with frontends strictly based on the open OGC standards, datacubes have become first-class citizens accessible through direct interaction with simple point-and-click Web GUIs Flexibility and scalability of this approach has shown on 130+ TB datasets together covering Earth and Planetary sciences.
