FAIRiCUBE and the Next Generation of EOxHub Workspaces

salvini

FAIRiCUBE has been at the forefront of making Earth Observation (EO) data more accessible, interoperable, and impactful for researchers and practitioners. A big part of this mission is powered by EOxHub Workspaces – the cloud platform where use case teams can host, process, and analyze EO data collaboratively and efficiently.

With the release of EOxHub version 2, we’re excited to share how FAIRiCUBE has both influenced the platform’s evolution and is now benefitting from its new features.

Driving the evolution of EOxHub

FAIRiCUBE has been more than a user of EOxHub — it has played a key role in shaping its new version. Feedback and contributions from our use case teams directly helped define improvements that make the workspace more powerful and user-friendly.

One highlight is the new user area, which acts as a central entry point to all available apps and resources. From machine learning tools to visualization services, everything is now accessible in a unified environment, making workflows smoother and collaboration more effective.

FAIRiCUBE Catalog on EOxHub v2

Alongside the workspace upgrade, the FAIRiCUBE Catalog has also migrated to version 2. The catalog, available at catalog.fairicube.hub-otc-sc.eox.at, is based on the SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification.

To better meet the needs of FAIRiCUBE’s use cases, the catalog also introduces its own definitions as a STAC Extension. This makes it possible to describe and discover EO data in ways that are both standards-compliant and tailored to FAIRiCUBE’s innovative work.

What this means for the FAIRiCUBE community

The migration to EOxHub v2 brings:

  • More seamless access to EO data, applications, and tools.
  • Improved usability for researchers and developers.
  • A stronger foundation for FAIRiCUBE’s mission to make EO data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR).

By co-developing and pioneering these advancements, FAIRiCUBE continues to ensure that the EO community has cutting-edge infrastructure to unlock insights and tackle challenges across domains.
