to be updated and extended, from FP7 times (initially from EPN/IDIS meeting Nov. 2011, plus discussion at EGU2016 & inputs from Chiara, 6/2016):
Ressource Type | Description | Notes |
Catalogues | 1D list of elements | |
Catalogue Items | 0D list of elements | |
Times Series | 1D series of values depending on time |
|
Image/Map | 2D series of values depending on 2 spatial axes | This Resource type includes both Images and Maps. The difference between these two Resources being usually the Physical Parameter (Images for measured parameters, Maps for derived parameters). |
Spectrum | 1D series of values depending on a spectral axis | The spectral axis is a generic term which could be replaced by Frequency, WaveLength, WaveNumber, Energy, Mass, Charge... (relies on UCD) |
Dynamic Spectrum | 2D series of values depending on time and on a spectral axis | Same remark as for Spectrum + FoV is homogeneous (this is a 2D spectral cube otherwise) |
Spectral Cube | 3D series of values depending on 2 spatial axes and on a spectral axis | Same remark as for Spectrum + can be 2D spatial/spectral either. |
Volumes | 3D series of values depending on 3 spatial axes | This resource contains either series a values depending on 3 spatial coordinates, or tabulated values in a volumic grid. |
Profile | 1D series of values depending on a spatial axis |
|
Dynamic Maps | 3D series of values depending on 2 spatial axes and on time |

Added Catalogue (a major one) + comments on spectral cubes vs dynamic spectra
Stéphane Erard
So this is the initial type list; the open Q was: do we need extra 2D types? In particular do we need to separate projected maps and images?
