The O2A GeoTIFF is a specification of the metadata tags nomenclature inside a GeoTIFF used in the O2A dataflow. It extends the public GeoTIFF format with defined metadata tags which are used in the O2A dataflow.

Version 1.1

The O2A GeoTIFF specification version 1.1 is in progress and not yet fully proofed. It will replace the the O2A GeoTIFF specification version 1.

...

A O2A GeoTIFF needs to contain all the following metadata tags. If any values are unkown, they should be left empty.

MetadataDescription, ExamplesValue

Coordinate System

The Coordinate System (SRS,CRS) must be written in the WKT format and must be valid against the EPSG code representation. If not, it won't be accepted.

e.g. WKT of EPSG:4326: https://epsg.io/4326.wkt

mandatory
PARAMETER_NAME

(Natural language) name of measured or calculated parameter.

e.g.: sic, multibeam

can be empty
PARAMETER_URN

The parameter urn of the dataset as defined in sensor.awi.de or build from a pangaea DOI. It will be used for decisions in the o2a dataflow.

e.g.: satellite:gcomw1:amsr2:l2:sic
        pangaea:893351:M132_bathy_data-products:M132_soundings_WGS84:multibeam


PARAMETER_UNIT

The unit of the given parameter

e.g. %

can be empty

DATE_TIME

or

DATE_TIME_START

DATE_TIME_END

Date/Time of the data, in the ISO 8601 format, e.g. YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.
Either one timestamp (DATE_TIME) or two timestamps for time series (DATE_TIME_START, DATE_TIME_END).
mandatory
LICENSE

License of the dataset.

e.g. MIT, CC BY-NC 3.0

can be empty

Examples

Metadata like in the following examples could be retrieved by using the gdalinfo command.

e.g.: gdalinfo ./path/to/file.sdi.tif

Version 1 (deprecated)

Definition for Format version 1 is in progress and is not yet proofed.

...

GeoTiff with well formed WKT description of the coordinate system and additional defined metadata tags holding dataset-specific information. Attribute names (orange) are case sensitive.

Coordinate System

The Coordinate System (SRS, CRS) must be written in the WKT format and must be valid against it. If not, it won't be accepted.

e.g. WKT of EPSG:4326: https://epsg.io/4326.wkt



PARAMETER_URN

The sensor or parameter urn of the dataset as defined in sensor.awi.de. It will be used for decisions in the o2a dataflow.

e.g. 'satellite:gcomw1:amsr2:l2:sic'

PARAMETER_UNIT

The unit of the given parameter.

e.g. '%'
