OpenSearch/STAC JSON templates¶

General rules for writing the (Geo)JSON templates:

• Single // and multiline /* ... */ comments are allowed in the input, for the editor’s convenience. and will be discarded in the output.

• The properties follow the same names as the OpenSearch queryables:

  • If the column in the database has no prefix, use none in the template too (e.g. startTime).

  • If the column has a prefix, it gets transformed, so for example, eoInstrument in the database becomes eo:instrument in the template.

  • The “eo” prefix has a special rule, when it’s used in the products table, it’s called eop in the template. For example the column eoSensorMode in the products tables becomes eop:sensorMode.

• Two special CQL functions assist in the creation of links:

  • serviceLink takes a URL template using the Java Formatter syntax and all the subsequent paramters are meant to be replaced in the template, one by one. This is used for links that are built on the fly based on product/collection attributes only.

  • templateLink takes a URL template using a single ${BASE_URL} placeholder, and replaces it with the base URL of the request. This is already used by RSS output, and assumes the links are contained database fields, like the OGC links.
