<p class="MsoNormal">NASA's Earth Science Data and Information Systems (ESDIS) Standards Coordination Office (ESCO) is requesting comments on the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC) specification, as a discovery and catalog standard for NASA Earth Science
Data Systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The STAC specification is a common language to describe geospatial information, so it can more easily be leveraged, indexed, and discovered. It is a standardized way to expose collections of spatiotemporal data and provides a common structure
for describing and cataloging spatiotemporal assets. With wide adoption of this common standard, different catalogs can be compared and aggregated, tooling and libraries can be applied in the same manner against multiple catalogs and user interfaces can be
reused.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You are invited to review these proposed terms and definitions in the context of your experience with Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS), airborne research and data, related inventories, tools, and services.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The review period goes until Tuesday, February 7th. Instructions for the review may be found here:<o:p></o:p></p>
