A satellite image composed of more than one measured value at different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum for each pixel in the image. band identification An identifier used to identify a specific band. boxed geographic region A geographic region that is specified by left longitude, lower latitude, right longitude and upper latitude. The region specified by the bounds (N,E,S,W): 49.39, -78.75, 32.25, -120.24 characteristic A characteristic, following OBOE guidelines, represents a property of an entity that can be measured. Temperature of air. complexed derived unit A unit that is calculated from defined operations. container format 1 Describes how the data and metadata are included in a file. data band 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 A databand can capture air temperature in Farenheit degrees with a resolution of 250m. A databand will contain data about a specific characteristic of an entity. It uses a specific unit and resolution. dataset manifestation A dataset manifestation, that follows the description of a DCAT Distribution, provides the information to retrieve a dataset, including the fomat, endpoint, etc. A donwnloadable RGIS WCS data set. date 1 A period of time with the same start and end time. date range 1 1 Time period defined by an start and end date. duration Time period defined by a start and end time. entity Air Following the definition of OBOE and SIO, an entity denotes a concrete or conceptual object that has been observed (e.g., a tree, a community, an ecological process). feature set A set of geometric features or characteristics observed from an entity. This class is equivalent to the notion of an ArcGIS feature file manifestation 1 1 A file manifestation provides the information required to retrieve a file over the web, including the format and the URL where the file is available. format The arrangement of data for computer input or output. tiff geographic region A geographic region, aligned to DCAT location, is a spatial region or named place. America geospatial dataset 1 1 A geospatial dataset contains data that covers a specified geographic region and specifies how a measured characteristic varies across that region, for a specific date range. It has a specific manifestation, a theme, and a geospatial projection instant A time period with the same start and end time. layer A layer is a set of environmental information quantifying the value of a single characteristic through space, used to compose a climate scenario to generate a model. A dataset that quanifies temperature at many spatial locations metadata format Describes the format of the metadata included in a file. XML, RDF. named geographic region A geographic region specified by a name. North America, Great Lakes, Indonesia ogc response manifestation 1 Provides information about a file that is returned from a web service using OGC standards, including the container format. OGC service manifestation Provides information about a service that can be executed over the web using OGC standards, including the URL where the service is located. payload format Describes the format of a payload. tiff, hdf5 projection 1 Processing of datasets, where a set of rules generated by a model are applied onto a climate scenario of related environmental layers. raster dataset A raster dataset is a geospatial dataset that organizes information as the value of a single characteristic at every location in space, such as temperature. Multiple raster datasets can be combined into a single dataset as bands of information. satellite imagery, aerial photographs. service manifestation A service manifestation provides the information required to execute a service over the web. In particular, a service that will return a dataset. theme Metadata describing the information captured in a dataset. vegetation time period Following DCAT's descriptions, a time period is a temporal period that the dataset covers. unit A subclass of SIO's class unit of measurement. A unit is a a definite magnitude of a physical quantity. Meter vector dataset A dataset that represents values using points, lines and polygons. wcs raster dataset A WCS raster dataset is composed by all possible datasets provided by a WCS service manifestation depending on the parameters set in a service call. wcs service manifestation A WCS service, located in a specific URL, that will return a dataset. wcs raster response A specific raster dataset returned by calling a WCS service with specific parameters. wcs response manifestation A WCS service, in a described URL, will return a MODIS dataset encoded in a specific format. Provides information about the file that is returned by a Web coverage service, including the format. wfs vector dataset A WFS vector dataset is composed by all possible datasets provided by a WFS service manifestation depending on the parameters set in a service call. wfs service manifestation A WCS service, located in a specific URL, that will return a dataset. wfs vector response A specific vector dataset returned by calling a WFS service with specific parameters. wfs response manifestation A MODIS dataset, encoded in a specific format, and returned by a WFS service. Provides information about the file that is returned by a Web coverage service, including the format.
