Abstract:
Providers of geospatial data are facing the challenge of diverse user needs when delivering their products to different user groups. Academic researchers represent a user group with quite specific requirements, like good support for analysis and high-performance computing. A national infrastructure providing both geospatial data and powerful geocomputing facilities for research use is being developed in Finland. The part of the infrastructure described in this paper focuses on the management, storage and efficient delivery of raster-formatted geospatial data by applying the concept of datacube.
