DESCRIPTION:EOEPCA (Earth Observation Exploitation Platform Common Architec
 ture) is a European Space Agency (ESA) funded project led by Telespazio UK
  that defines a reusable exploitation platform architecture using open sta
 ndard interfaces. Its goal is to encourage interoperation and federation b
 etween operational exploitation platforms\, facilitating easier access and
  more efficient exploitation of the rapidly growing body of Earth Observat
 ion (EO) and other data. \n\nUsers are beginning to appreciate the advanta
 ges of exploitation platforms. However\, the market now offers a plethora 
 of platforms with various added value services and data access capabilitie
 s. This ever-increasing offer is rather intimidating and confusing for mos
 t users. Users often face challenges such as inconsistent interfaces\, pro
 prietary software and limited interoperability. To fully exploit the poten
 tial of these complementary platform resources we anticipate the need to e
 ncourage interoperation amongst the platforms\, such that users of one pla
 tform may consume the services of another directly platform-to-platform.\n
 \nThe EOEPCA system architecture is designed to meet a set of defined use 
 cases for various levels of user\, from expert application developers to d
 ata analysts and end users. The architecture is defined as a set of Buildi
 ng Blocks (BBs)\, exposing well-defined open-standard interfaces. These in
 clude Identity and Access Management\, Resource Discovery\, Data Access\, 
 Processing Workflows\, Datacube Access\, Machine Learning Operations and m
 ore. Each of these BBs are containerised for Kubernetes deployment\, which
  provides an infrastructure-agnostic deployment target.\n\nThe recent stab
 le release of EOEPCA+ 2.0 delivers 11 production-ready building blocks\, e
 ach with deployment scripts\, documentation and interactive tutorials. Wor
 k is progressing towards version 2.1.\n\nAll EOEPCA+ source code is public
  on GitHub under open-source licences. We will outline how individuals and
  organisations can get involved\, and discuss how EOEPCA+ connects to the 
 broader Open Science community and the future direction of the Common Arch
 itecture.
