EarthCODE (https://e arthcode.esa.int) is a strategic ESA EO initiative to support the implemen tation of this vision.\n\nEarthCODE (Earth Science Collaborative Open Deve lopment Environment) aims towards an integrated\, cloud-based\, user-centr ic development environment for European Space Agency’s (ESA) Earth scien ce activities and projects. EarthCODE looks to maximise long-term visibili ty\, reuse and reproducibility of the research outputs of such projects\, by leveraging FAIR and open science principles and enabling\, thus fosteri ng a sustainable scientific process. EarthCODE proposes a fully open-sourc e flexible and scalable architecture developed with interoperable open-sou rce blocks\, with a long-term vision evolving by incrementally integrating industrially provided services from a portfolio of the Network of Resourc es. EarthCODE platform collaborators participate in creating integrated ar chitecture\, with interoperable solutions and federated capabilities. Addi tionally\, EarthCODE is a utilisation domain of EOEPCA+ (https://eoepca.or g/)\, thus contributing to the development and evolution of Open Standards and protocols to enable internationally interoperable solutions. \n\nEart hCODE will provide an Integrated Development Platform\, giving developers the tools needed to develop high quality workflows that allow experiments to be executed in the cloud and be end-to-end reproduced by other scientis ts. EarthCODE is built around existing open-source solutions\, building bl ocks and platforms\, such as the Open Science Catalogue\, EOxHub and EOEPC A. It has additionally begun to integrate platform services from DeepESDL\ , Euro Data Cube\, Polar TEP and the openEO federation on CDSE platforms\, with more being added annually through ESA best practices. With it’s ad opted federated approach\, EarthCODE will have the capability to facilitat e processing on other platforms\, i.e. DeepESDL\, ESA EURO Data Cube\, Ope n EO Cloud/Open EO Platform and AIOPEN/AI4DTE. \n\nThe roadmap for the po rtal includes the initial portal release by end of 2024\, followed by the capability to publish experiments in Q1 2025 (including development\, publ ishing\, finding and related community engagement)\, and by mid-2025 to ha ve a further release with reproducibility capabilities around accessibilit y and execute functionalities. \n\nCollaboration and Federation are at the heart of EarthCODE. As EarthCODE evolves we expect providing solutions al lowing federation of data and processing. EarthCODE has ambition to delive r a model for a Collaborative Open Development Environment for Earth syste m science\, where researchers can leverage the power of the wide range of EO platform services available to conduct their science\, while also makin g use of FAIR Open Science tools to manage data\, code and documentation\, create end-to-end reproducible workflows on platforms\, and have the oppo rtunity to discover\, use\, reuse\, modify and build upon the research of others in a fair and safe way. Overall\, EarthCODE aims to enable elements for EO Open Science and Innovation vision\, including open data\, open-so urce code\, linked data/code\, open-access documentation\, end-to-end repr oducible workflows\, open-science resources\, open-science tools\, and a h ealthy community applying all the elements in their practice.

Many web-based platfo rms have emerged - offering access to a wealth of satellite Earth Observat ion (EO) data. Increasingly\, these are collocated with cloud computing re sources and applications for exploiting the data. Rather than downloading the data\, the exploitation platform offers a cloud environment with acces s to EO data and associated compute and tools that facilitate the analysis and processing of large data volumes. The Exploitation Platform benefits users\, data providers and infrastructure providers. Users benefit from th e scalability & performance of the cloud infrastructure\, the added-value services offered by the platform – and avoid the need to maintain their own hardware. Data hosted in the cloud infrastructure reaches a wider audi ence and Infrastructure Providers gain an increased cloud user base.\n\nUs ers are beginning to appreciate the advantages of exploitation platforms. However\, the market now offers a plethora of platforms with various added value services and data access capabilities. This ever-increasing offer i s rather intimidating and confusing for most users. Users often face chall enges such as inconsistent interfaces\, proprietary software and limited i nteroperability. To fully exploit the potential of these complementary pla tform resources we anticipate the need to encourage interoperation amongst the platforms\, such that users of one platform may consume the services of another directly platform-to-platform.\n\nEOEPCA (EO Exploitation Platf orm Common Architecture - https://eoepca.org/) is a European Space Agency (ESA) funded project with the goal to define and agree a re-usable exploit ation platform architecture using standard interfaces to encourage interop eration and federation between operational exploitation platforms - facili tating easier access and more efficient exploitation of the rapidly growin g body of EO and other data. Interoperability through open standards is a key guiding force for the Common Architecture. EOEPCA adheres to standards from organisations such as Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and follows b est practices in data management\, including implementation of OGC Web Ser vices and emerging OGC API specifications for features\, coverages and pro cesses. Platform developers are more likely to invest their efforts in sta ndard implementations that have wide usage\; off-the-shelf clients and sof tware are more likely to be found for standards-based solutions.\n\nThe EO EPCA system architecture is designed to meet a set of defined use cases fo r various levels of user\, from expert application developers to data anal ysts and end users. The architecture is defined as a set of Building Block s (BBs)\, exposing well-defined open-standard interfaces. These include Id entity and Access Management\, Resource Discovery\, Data Access\, Processi ng Workflows\, Data Cube Access\, Machine Learning Operations\, and more. Each of these BBs are containerized for Kubernetes deployment\, which prov ides an infrastructure-agnostic deployment target.\n\nThe exploitation pla tform is conceived as a ‘virtual work environment’ where users can acc ess data\, develop algorithms\, conduct analysis and share their value-add ing outcomes. The EOEPCA architecture facilitates this through a Workspace BB that provides collaboration environments for projects (groups of users ) including dedicated storage and services for analysis\, processing and p ublishing of added-value data and applications. This is supported by an Ap plication Hub building-block that provides interactive web-tooling for ana lysis\, algorithm development\, data exploitation and provides a web dashb oard capability through which added-value outcomes can be showcased.\n\nOu r presentation will highlight the generalised architecture\, standards\, b est practice and open source software components available.
