SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog(STAC)

<p>The SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) specification provides a common language to describe a range of geospatial information, so it can more easily be indexed and discovered. A 'spatiotemporal asset' is any file that represents information about the earth captured in a certain space and time. In this episode,our guest <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/opencholmes/'>Chris Holmes</a> shared with us the inspiration behind STAC, the problem it's solving,how you can use it,where you can find it, and why it's important for us to have a unified specification for geospatial data access and discovery in the geospatial community.</p> <p>This episode is sponsored by HOT.
