ADES
| |ades|
| See :ref:`processes` section for details.
Alternative operation modes are described in :ref:`Configuration Settings`.
AOI
| Area of Interest.
| Corresponds to a region, often provided by :term:`OGC` :term:`WKT` definition, employed for :term:`OpenSearch`
queries in the context of :term:`EOImage` inputs.
Application Package
General term that refers to *"what and how to execute"* the :term:`Process`. Application Packages provide the
core details about the execution methodology of the underlying operation that defines the :term:`Process`, and
are therefore always contained within a :ref:`Process Description <proc_op_describe>`. This is more specifically
represented by a :term:`CWL` specification in the case of `Weaver` implementation, but could technically be
defined by another similar approach. See the :ref:`Application Package` section for all relevant details.
AWS
Amazon Web Services
CLI
| Command Line Interface
| Script that offers interactions through shell commands or Python scripts to execute any described operations.
Details of the provided `Weaver` commands are described in :ref:`cli` chapter.
CWL
| |cwl|_
| Representation of the internal :term:`Application Package` of the :term:`Process` to provide execution
methodology of the referenced :term:`Docker` image or other supported definitions.
A |cwl|_ file can be represented both in :term:`JSON` or :term:`YAML` format, but is often represented
in :term:`JSON` in the context of `Weaver` for its easier inclusion within HTTP request contents.
See :ref:`application-package` section for further details.
Data Source
Known locations of remote servers where an :term:`ADES` or :term:`EMS`
(either `Weaver` or other implementation) can accept :term:`Process` deployment,
or any other server supporting :term:`OGC API - Processes` with pre-deployed :term:`Process`, where
executions can be dispatched according to the source of the data.
.. seealso::
Refer to :ref:`conf_data_sources` and :ref:`data-source` sections for more details.
Docker
Containerized and isolated environment platform that allows all required dependencies of an application or
software to be packaged in a single image in order to correctly execute the virtualized application.
EDAM
Ontology that regroups multiple definitions, amongst which `Weaver` looks up some of its known and supported
:term:`MIME-types` (|edam-link|_) when resolving file formats. It is used as extension to :term:`IANA` media
types by providing additional formats that are more specifics to some data domains.
EMS
| |ems|
| See :ref:`processes` section for details.
Alternative operation modes are described in :ref:`Configuration Settings`.
EOImage
| Earth Observation Image
| Input that interprets additional parameters in order to infer specific images applicable with filters
following search results within a remote catalog.
.. seealso::
:ref:`opensearch_data_source` section.
ESGF
|esgf|_
ESGF-CWT
|esgf-cwt-git|_
HREF
| Hyperlink Reference
| Often shortened to simply `reference`. Represents either a locally or remotely accessible item, such as a
file or a :term:`Process` depending on context, that uses explicit ``<protocol>://<host/path>``
representation to define its location. See also :ref:`File Reference Types` for typical examples.
HYBRID
| Combination of :term:`ADES` and :term:`EMS` operation modes.
| See :ref:`processes` section for details.
Alternative operation modes are described in :ref:`Configuration Settings`.
I/O
Inputs and/or Outputs of CWL and/or WPS depending on context.
IANA
Ontology that regroups multiple definitions, amongst which `Weaver` looks up most of its known and supported
:term:`MIME-types` (|iana-link|_) when resolving file formats.
JSON
| JavaScript Object Notation
| Default data representation of all objects contained in the application or for their creation.
Job
Definition of a :term:`Process` execution state with applicable operation metadata.
KVP
| Key-Value Pairs
| String representation of a set of key-value pairs, usually but not limited to, ``=`` character
separating keys from their values, ``,`` for multi-value (array) definitions, and another separator
such as ``&`` or ``;`` to distinguish between distinct pairs. Specific separators, and any applicable
escaping methods, depend on context, such as in URL query, HTTP header, :term:`CLI` parameter, etc.
Media-Types
MIME-types
| Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
| Format representation of the referenced element, often represented by :term:`IANA` or :term:`EDAM` ontologies.
More recent `Media-Type` naming is employed for the general use of ``Content-Type`` data representation in
multiple situations and contexts.
OAS
OpenAPI
OpenAPI Specification (`OAS`) defines a standard, programming language-agnostic interface description for
HTTP APIs. It is used in `Weaver` and :term:`OGC API - Processes` to represent API definitions for requests
and responses, as well as :term:`I/O` definitions for :term:`Process` description.
.. seealso::
https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0
OGC
|ogc|_
OGC API - Processes
The new API that defines JSON REST-binding representation of :term:`WPS` :term:`Process` collection.
OpenSearch
Protocol of lookup and retrieval of remotely stored files.
Please refer to :ref:`OpenSearch Data Source` for details.
Process
Entity that describes the required inputs, produced outputs, and any applicable metadata for the execution of
the defined script, calculation, or operation.
Provider
Entity that offers an ensemble of :term:`Process` under it. It is typically a reference to a remote service,
where any :term:`Process` it provides is fetched dynamically on demand.
Request Options
Configuration settings that can be defined for `Weaver` in order to automatically insert additional
HTTP request parameters, authentication or other any relevant rules when target URLs are matched.
See also :ref:`conf_request_options`.
S3
Simple Storage Service (:term:`AWS` S3), bucket file storage.
TOI
| Time of Interest
| Corresponds to a date/time interval employed for :term:`OpenSearch` queries in the context
of :term:`EOImage` inputs.
UoM
| Unit of Measure
| Represents a measurement defined as literal value associated with a specific unit that could take advantage
of known conversion methods with other compatible units to obtain the equivalent value. These values are
transferred to the :term:`Process` as specified, and it is up to the underlying :term:`Application Package`
definition to interpret it as deemed fit.
Vault
Secured storage employed to upload files that should be temporarily stored on the `Weaver` server for
later retrieval using an access token.
.. seealso::
- :ref:`vault_upload`
- :ref:`file_vault_inputs`
WKT
Well-Known Text geometry representation.
Workflow
A specific variant of :term:`Process` where the execution consists of nested :term:`Process` executions with
input/output chaining between operations.
.. seealso::
Refer to :ref:`proc_workflow`, :ref:`proc_workflow_ops` and :ref:`CWL Workflow` sections for more details.
WPS
| Web Processing Service.
| From a formal standpoint, this is the previous :term:`OGC` standard iteration that was employed prior to
:term:`OGC API - Processes` to represent a server that host one or more :term:`Process` for execution.
When compared against :term:`CWL` context or generally across `Weaver` documentation and code, this term
refers to attributes that are specific to typical :term:`Process` description, in contrast to specialized
attributes introduced by other concepts, such as for example :term:`CWL`-specific implementation details.
WPS-REST
Alias employed to refer to :term:`OGC API - Processes` endpoints for corresponding :term:`WPS` definitions.
XML
| Extensible Markup Language
| Alternative representation of some data object provided by the application. Requires appropriate ``Accept``
header to return this format. See :ref:`OpenAPI Specification` for details.
YAML
| YAML Ain't Markup Language
| YAML is a human-friendly data serialization language for all programming languages.
It is employed in `Weaver` as an alternative and equivalent representation of :term:`JSON` format, mostly
in cases where configuration files are defined to allow the insertion of additional documentation details.
