**eo:platform** is the unique name of the specific platform the instrument is attached to. For satellites this would
be the name of the satellite, whereas for drones this would be a unique name for the drone. It is recommended that
the value consist of only lowercase characters, numbers, `_`, and `-`. Examples include `landsat-8` (Landsat-8), `sentinel-2a` and `sentinel-2b`
(Sentinel-2), `terra` and `aqua` (part of NASA EOS, carrying the MODIS instruments),

**eo:instrument** is the name of the sensor used, although for Items which contain data from
multiple sensors this could also name multiple sensors. It is recommended
that the value consist of only lowercase characters, numbers, `_`, and `-`. For example, data from the Landsat-8
multiple sensors this could also name multiple sensors. For example, data from the Landsat-8
platform is collected with the OLI sensor as well as the TIRS sensor, but the data is distributed
together and commonly referred to as OLI_TIRS. Examples include `oli_tirs` (Landsat-8), `msi` (Sentinel-2),
`aster` (Terra), and `modis` (Terra and Aqua).

**eo:constellation** is the name of a logical collection one or more platforms that have similar payloads and have
their orbits arranged in a way to increase the temporal resolution of acquisitions of data with similar geometric and
radiometric characteristics. This field allows users to search for related data sets without needing to specify which
specific platform the data came from, for example, from either of the Sentinel-2 satellites. It is recommended
that the value consist of only lowercase characters, numbers, `_`, and `-`. Examples include `landsat-8`

which specific platform the data came. One example is
the constellation `sentinel-1` (Sentinel-1) consisting of two satellites Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B. If a system
consists of only a single satellite, the constellation name is the same as the satellite name, e.g., `envisat`
(Envisat).

**sar:polarization** specifies a single polarization or a polarization combination. For single polarized radars one of `HH`, `VV`, `HV` or `VH` must be set. Fully polarimetric radars add all four polarizations to the array. Dual polarized radars and alternating polarization add the corresponding polarizations to the array, for instance for `HH+HV` add both `HH` and `HV`.
