Context
WEkEO is one of the five Copernicus Data and Information Access Services (DIAS) co-founded by the European Commission, in 2018.
Its purpose is to provide a single federated access point to Copernicus open data from all partners organisations and services, along with cloud-based processing resources and tools.
Jointly developed by EUMETSAT, ECMWF, the European Environment Agency (EEA) and Mercator Ocean International, WEkEO is built around the idea of federation across three dimensions: data federation, with new data providers being able to join; infrastructure federation, with contributions by the partners, industrial contractors and other interested parties; and user support federation, with distributed experts in IT and Earth Observation products and services.
