Danube Data Cube Platform

The Danube Data Cube platform provides access to various environmental datasets, from satellite images to meteorologic and soil data, and delivers data integration and analysis tools. With a regional focus, it demonstrates how the data cube technology helps local actors maximize the benefit of the synergy of satellite and ancillary data. The DDC concept provides a ‘one-stop-shop’ with extensive machine learning capabilities, analytical tasks, and decision support algorithms.

The DDC platform provides services for value adders and application developers to seamless data access, dynamic data gathering and storage, and essential GIS functionality.

DDC offers a marketplace where deployed applications can be sold. DDC is marketed as an integrated software solution. Therefore value-adders have easy market access.

Concept

The DDC provides integrated data access, modeling capabilities, and operative decision support on one platform.

Data access and integration are realized via Data Cube technology, which makes it possible to integrate data from multiple sources into a single N-dimensional data store (Data Cube) with a standard spatial and temporal resolution.

For modeling purposes, the platform offers a digital twin concept that is built on Data Cubes with predictive functions that can run “what-if” scenarios based on factual data and forecasts.

The DDC platform offers three different ways of utilization on three separate levels built on each other:

  • Platform Services: Data API, and Hosting

  • Value-added Microservice APIs

  • End-user applications
