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.
API
| Application Programming Interface
| Most typically, referring to the use of HTTP requests following an :term:`OpenAPI` specification.
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
| In the context of `Weaver`, most often referring specifically to the use of :term:`S3` buckets.
Bill
Billing
Result from :ref:`quotation_billing` following :ref:`quote_estimation` when enabled on the `Weaver` instance.
.. seealso::
- :ref:`quotation`
- :ref:`conf_quotation`
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::
|OpenAPI-spec|_
OGC
|ogc|_
OGC API - Processes
The new :term:`API` that defines :term:`JSON` REST-binding representation
of :term:`WPS` :term:`Process` collection.
ONNX
The |ONNX-long|_ standard is an open format employed for sharing machine learning model representations
with an agnostic approach across frameworks, tools, runtimes, and compilers.
.. seealso::
:ref:`quotation_estimator_model`
OpenSearch
Protocol of lookup and retrieval of remotely stored files.
Please refer to :ref:`OpenSearch Data Source` for details.
OWS
| :term:`OGC` Web Services
| Family of services including :term:`WPS`, defined prior to the family of :term:`OGC` :term:`API` standards.
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.

Result from :ref:`quote_estimation` when enabled on the `Weaver` instance.
.. seealso::
- :ref:`quotation`
- :ref:`conf_quotation`

.. seealso::
- :ref:`quotation_estimator_model`
- :ref:`conf_quotation`
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.

input/output chaining between operations.
.. seealso::
Refer to :ref:`proc_workflow`, :ref:`proc_workflow_ops` and :ref:`app_pkg_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.
WPS-T
Alias employed to refer to older revisions of :term:`OGC API - Processes` standard.
The name referred to :term:`WPS` *Transactional* operations introduced by the RESTful API.
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.
