EOxServer Technical Details

EOxServer implements the OGC Implementation Specifications EO-WCS and EO-WMS on top of MapServer's WCS and WMS implementations.

EOxServer is released under the EOxServer Open License a MIT-style license and written in Python and entirely based on Open Source software including MapServer, Django, GDAL, SpatiaLite, or PostGIS, and PROJ.4. Versions 0.1.x are released under the GNU General Public License.

The currently available functionality includes:

  • Support of GML AP – Coverages for RectifiedGridCoverages
  • Support of adopted WCS 2.0 specification (Core including GetCapabilities, DescribeCoverage, and GetCoverage requests, KVP-, and XML/POST protocol binding)
  • Anticipated support of envisaged extensions: Coverage format, GeoTIFF encoding, predefined (or EPSG) CRSs, scaling & interpolation, and non-referenced access. By "anticipating" we mean to reflect the latest WCS.SWG discussions as well as to follow the relevant parts of the previous 1.1 and 1.0 versions of WCS.
  • Support of 2-D EO Coverages derived from gmlcov:RectifiedGridCoverage
  • Support of 2-D EO Coverages derived from gmlcov:ReferenceableGridCoverage
  • Support of Dataset Series as a collection of EO Coverages e.g. in a time series
  • Support of new DescribeEOCoverageSet operation on Dataset Series and EO Coverages
  • Support of Stitched Mosaic of Rectified EO Coverages including concept of contributingFootprint
  • Support of EO Metadata (retrieval and evaluation in DescribeEOCoverageSet operation)
  • Protocoll bindings supported:
    • KVP
    • XML/POST (used together with SOAP2POST Proxy to support XML/SOAP protocol binding)
  • Coverage formats supported:
    • GeoTIFF
    • Formats supported by the GDAL library (support needs to be verified for each required format separately)
  • Support of EO-WMS for EO Coverages
