TAO

Repositories

This is where you browse and manage your datasets, either retrieved from searches, uploaded by yourself, or resulted from processing workflows.

By default, you have two repositories: a LOCAL one, which is used for intermediate results of the processing tasks, and a SWIFT one, which will be used to store the processing results. This latter is shared between TAO and the Sandbox.

A repository contains data organized as files and folders. A special notion is that of a “product”: a product can be either a single file or an entire subfolder. It has more metadata than a regular file.

A repository can be browsed using an Explorer-like interface:

When you select an item in the left tree, several actions are available:

  • Upload: you can upload a file in the current folder.
  • New Folder: you can create a subfolder in the current folder.

When you select an item in the right tree, additional actions are available:

  • Copy: mark the selection as ready to be copied in another repository.
  • Paste: copies a previous copy selection in the current repository and folder.
  • Delete: deletes the selected item from the repository.
  • Product Set: creates a product set from the selected item(s).
  • Inspect: looks for known products in the current folder. Currently Sentinel-1/2/3, Landsat-8 and single GeoTIFF products are supported.
  • Properties: display the attributes of the selected item.
  • View on map: if the selected item is a product or a raster of a known format, it will be displayed on a map.
  • Open file: displays the contents of text files.
  • Actions: several additional actions can be performed on an item:
    • Convert to COG: applies for GeoTIFF files only.
    • Convert to ZARR: tries to convert the selected item in the ZARR format.
    • Move: moves the selected item in another location in the same repository.
    • Zip: creates a zip archive from the selected item.
    • Unzip: if the selected item is a zip file, it extracts its contents in the current location.
  • Search: applies a filter on the items in the current folder.
  • Search & sites
