Looking Forward We still need to finalize the strategy, it’s just a paper now This is still a work in progress There are still lots of translations to discuss NSIDC SMAP data will be tested during BMGT integration testing Raytheon EED Program | ECHO Technical Interchange 2013
How will this affect me?
Data Providers Raytheon EED Program | ECHO Technical Interchange 2013 It probably won’t. Current mechanisms will continue to work Current formats will continue to work
Clients Developers and End-Users Raytheon EED Program | ECHO Technical Interchange 2013 It depends. Current mechanisms will continue to work Current formats will continue to work (json, csv, atom) New flexibility Reverb will allow direct download of ISO in a variety of formats Developers can choose a format most suited to their purposes
