Information Product onboarding

Information Products are processes that are aimed to enhance Data Cube content with additional layers derived from the original data loaded in Data Cubes. Information Products are expected to be onboarded as ‘Data Cube Processes.’ The process includes a set of original layers and typically an equation that creates the new information based on the original layers with the toolset of raster algebra. The process of creating new Information Products can also include additional data that is not included in the Data Caube and is proprietary to the process.

Data Cube Processes are becoming part of the initialization and daily update procedure of the Dynamic Data Cube services. Hence, layers created by Data Cube Processes are no different from the original data layers from a user perspective.

Data Cube Processes are owned and maintained by their authors and can be subject to independent pricing and subscriptions.

ONBOARDING PROCESS STEPS

  1. Register on the Information Factory: https://ddc.cropom.com

  2. Formal expression of onboarding intention, signing NDA and agreement that includes lincensing, pricing, and SLA specifics

  3. Process specification document (provided by the data owner). The document includes the following:

  • Data requirements of the process, list of original layers that have to be in the Data Cube to run the process

  • Relevant temporal resolution (daily, monthly, yearly)

  • Estimated running time

  • Resulting layers parameters (value type, value range)

  1. Share code for implementation

  2. Delpoy new Dynamic Data Cube service version with the included layer

  3. Publish the onboarded Data Cube Processes on the Information Factory Marketplace (the source of published information is the process specification provided by the data owner)
