Matthias Mohr is an independant software engineer and consultant. He's been fundamental in defining the openEO API specification for interoperable geoprocessing in the cloud and is developing the front-end UI. Similarly, he's one of the authors of the STAC specification and added a large number of extensions to the ecosystem. He's maintaining STAC Browser and STAC Index.
Sessions
The SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specifications are a flexible language for describing geospatial information across domains and for a variety of use cases. This talk will present the current state of the specifications, which includes the core STAC specification and the API specification built on top of OGC APIs. While the core specification has been stable for roughly two years and doesn't need a lot of updates, the API specification got numerous updates and is finally close to a stable release. This presentation digs into additions to STAC extensions and the latest community developments. We survey the updates to the open-source STAC ecosystem, which includes software written in Python, Node.js, and more. Finally, let's also look into the near future.
The SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) (and Cloud Native Geospatial ecosystem) for/in JavaScript has evolved in the last year. This talk will update you on the current state of the ecosystem and gives an outlook on what is missing. For STAC talk will cover libraries such as stac-js, stac-layer, stac-browser, stac-node-validator, and more. We'll dive into what the libraries do, how they relate to each other and give you some hints how you get started. At the end, a short excursion into the cloud-native geospatial ecosystem in JavaScript for COG, geoparquet, geozarr and other file formats will be provided as well.
STAC Browser is a full-fledged web interface for browsing and searching static STAC catalogs and STAC APIs. It has been rewritten from scratch with a lot of new functionality. This talk will introduce STAC Browser, showcase new functionality and uncover some unexpected gems such as the broad range of customization possibilities. Lastly, the presentation will guide you through a set of best practices for your static STAC catalog or STAC API so that you get the most out of STAC Browser with regards to functionality and user experience.
