  1. HDF-EOS Workshop II Introduction Candace Carlisle Earth Science Data and Information Systems (ESDIS) Project

  2. HDF-EOS • Baseline standard data format for distribution, production and archive of EOS data • Selected based on evaluation of available formats and science data needs • Based on National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) Hierarchical Data Format • HDF-EOS adds EOS data features to HDF • HDF-EOS developed by EOS Core System contracto • HDF-EOS provides • Portability • Self-description, allowing data to be read by generic tools • Pre-organized metadata • NASA invests in improvements to HDF and HDF-EOS

  3. Purpose of this Workshop • In-depth information about HDF and HDF-EOS for data producers, user services, and tool developers • Hands-on tutorials on HDF and HDF-EOS tools and utilities • Hands-on tutorials on programming with HDF and HDF-EOS Applications Programming Interfaces • Individual consultation for individuals and teams

  4. Workshop Sponsors • Workshop Committee • Ben Kobler, NASA • Candace Carlisle, NASA • Dan Marinelli, NASA • John Berbert, NASA • Doug Ilg, RITSS (formerly STX) • George Schwenke, RITSS (formerly STX) • Mike Folk, NCSA, University of Illinois • Thanks to the ECS team for providing • Facility • Speakers • Experts

  5. HDF-EOS Vendor Opportunities • Large and growing community of EOSDIS users • In 1996, there were over 20,000 distinct users of earth science data that accessed NASA DAACs (“EOSDIS Version 0”) • We expect rapid growth in the number of users with the launch of EOS AM-1, Landsat 7, and Sage III • EOSDIS data is widely available and free or inexpensive to obtain • e.g. NASA may charge users for cost of media and shipping • Expected user community includes • Public sector (NASA, NOAA, USDA...) • Scientific researchers • Commercial users • Education community • International Partners

  6. HDF-EOS Vendor Opportunities, Cont’d • EOSDIS users will need a broad spectrum of tools with these capabilities: • browsing • viewing • subsetting • image analysis and enhancement • mathematical and statistical analysis • processing • graphics • animation
