OLES Online Laboratory for Environmental Sciences

Abstract

International audienceThe integrated cyber-infrastructure, OLES, provides an access to observation data and to tools and models built to enhance our understanding on the evolution of the Earth's water resources and climate. OLES aims at i) extracting the required data from database portals using OGC webservice (CSW, SOS), ii) building a specific process chain based on modules that use NetCDF format for exchanging data, iii) running the process in chosen computing facilities, OLES can connect outside on a private LAN and iv) visualizing the result of the process. Based on J2EE, the MMI of OLES is a web interface and interacts with EJB objects. OLES uses web services to communicate with a sequencer developed in C++
