Comparative Study of Cloud Computing Platforms for Earth Observation Data Management and Analysis

The results of this analysis show that the trends towards open and unrestricted access to data, software, standards, and processing capabilities of the existing cloud computing platforms generally support basic scientific principles such as openness, accessibility and reusability. However, the challenges have been identified that need to be resolved in order to move from open Earth observation data to fully open analyses. For example, fair and impartial access for a heterogeneous group of users’ needs to be ensured, open access to the source code as well as the documentation needs to be provided, and non- restrictive licences that allow the creation of derivative works need to be applied. Looking ahead, we hope that this comparative analysis of the five operational platforms could inspire interested experts and non-expert users to explore the new paradigm of cloud-based platforms for Earth observation data access and processing.
