Two years ago we released Part 1 in our #STAC Retrospective series. This week we rolled out Part 2 to celebrate the news: STAC is an official @opengeospatial.bsky.social community standard! In this edition Matt Hanson shares the secrets behind STAC's success. element84.com/software-eng...

📢 It's been a long and sturdy way, but we've made it folks! STAC (including its API) is an official OGC community standard. Cheers to everyone involved! 🥳 www.ogc.org/announcement...

STAC Index was updated today. Various clean-ups both throughout the database and the code. :-) Not on STAC Index yet? Submit your STAC work today: stacindex.org/add

Starting from today, the public demo deployment of STAC Browser at radiantearth.github.io/stac-browser/ is now running on @openlayers.org / ol-stac / stac-js. This is a major change, so problems are likely to occur. Please report any issues that you may find at github.com/radiantearth...

Just created a new online checker for STAC, based on stac-node-validator v2: check-stac.moregeo.it Feedback welcome :-)

STAC Browser v3.3.5 has been released: github.com/radiantearth... This is the last 3.3.x release before we have the big change in 3.4.0 that introduces ol-stac and stac-js.

Members of the STAC and openEO PSC will be available at the ESA LPS for 1 on 1 discussions. What moves you? @emmanuel.mathot.org, Alex Jacob and I would love to get into discussions with you! Register at lps25.esa.int/open-science... => "Register for APEx / OpenEO / STAC one-to-one session"

🆕 #CNG2025 talk now available In this presentation, Matthias talks about the efforts to standardize satellite imagery, making it more readily available and usable for immediate analysis. youtu.be/vj4j4lJNyk0

Looking for feedback for some restyling in STAC Browser: github.com/radiantearth...

Created a PR for "Sortables" in the API Sort extension: github.com/stac-api-ext... Looking for feedback :-)

A new STAC link templates extension is open for review: github.com/stac-extensi... This extension offers a way to expose templated URIs in STAC, based on OGC API - Records.

Welcome everybody, this will be awesome! 🥰 Happy to chair the PSC and lead us into the future. Big footsteps to fill though.

Heute nehme ich euch auf der #FOSSGIS2025 in Münster mit auf eine Reise durch die Geoportale Deutschlands (pretalx.com/fossgis2025/...) und am Freitag gibt es einen Lightning Talk zu Feldgrenzen, u.A. Standardisierung, ML Benchmark Datensatz, etc. (pretalx.com/fossgis2025/...). Kommt vorbei.

Schon gewusst? Heute ist Tag der Vermessung und Geoinformation. Er wurde am 5. März 2012 anlässlich des 500. Geburtstages von Gerhard Mercator, dem berühmtesten Kartographen der Welt und Vater der modernen Vermessung, geschaffen. #Asterix #GIS

"Is there another industry in the world where the buyer is willing to spend thousands of dollars and gets ghosted?" Great read by @kevinbullock.bsky.social kbullock.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

📖 Our latest paper has been published in Nature Scientific Data. We present key concepts for federated processing and related interoperability aspects based on openEO, a standardized EO cloud processing API, and openEO Platform, a federated public cloud platform. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A small bugfix release has been published for STAC Browser: github.com/radiantearth...

📢 STAC Browser v3.3.0 has been released! Some of the improvements: - STAC v1.1.0 support - Updated versions of STAC extensions - New languages - Better authentication system, supporting OpenID Connect, HTTP Basic and API keys - Improved social sharing More details at github.com/radiantearth...

If anyone is using the STAC Browser options stacProxyUrl or redirectLegacyUrls, please respond here: github.com/radiantearth... It is planned to deprecate and remove them if they are not in use.

STAC Browser 3.3.0 is close to its release. Waiting for a couple of translations and last minute bugfixes. Give it a try at radiantearth.github.io/stac-browser/ and send any issues that you find to github.com/radiantearth...

openEO is now on Bluesky! import openeo openeo.connect("bsky.app")

Just updated the STAC JS ecosystem diagram from 2023. Is there anything missing? Not a lot has changes since 2023, but I'll pick this up again in 2025. There are some bangers planned :-)

Dan Baston from the GDAL project wrote up some interesting results of the first GDAL Users Survey which you can now read at gdal.org/en/stable/co...

New static STAC catalog: CoCliCo STAC Catalog stacindex.org/catalogs/coc... The funded CoCliCo project enhances coastal risk management by offering an open-source platform for assessing sea-level rise impacts. This catalog provides related datasets in various (cloud-native) formats.

Finally verified so that @darrenwiens.github.io doesn't think I'm a hacker any longer 😜

First post on @bsky.app! I wanted to share tgengine.org/introducing-... - a blog post I wrote about fieldsofthe.world. It's a huge benchmark dataset designed to enhance the development of ml models for field delineation. Working on the project for the last few months has been an absolute pleasure.

📢 I'm back! So follow me if you want to be informed about new STAC catalogs, APIs, tools, and more. Just a reminder to submit your STAC work to STAC Index. Please also check whether your previous submissions are still up to date. If not, please inform [email protected] Thank you! ❤️ stacindex.org
