Earth observation data have increased both in volume and diversity in recent decades and integrating these data for practical use has attracted a great deal of interest. Earth observation data are collected today by many organizations and institutions from various fields of studies using methods such as in-situ observations, oceanographic observations, remote sensing, weather and climate models, and observations by participating citizens. We should be able to achieve greater understanding and find comprehensive solutions to global environmental issues by integrating such data from different disciplines.

The goal of our research is to build a metadata management system to support research activities which involves integration and analysis of earth observation data.
