Product Catalogue
Facilitating geospatial data management
The APEx Product Catalogue service supports efficient geospatial data management by enabling the creation of SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogues (STAC).
These catalogues simplify data organisation, search, and discovery, and integrate easily with existing tools and services, supporting both experimental and operational use cases.
By using this service, your Earth observation project will have a solid foundation to become compliant with FAIR data principles.
