Welcome to CONCISE (CONCatenatIon SErvice)
CONCISE is a Python package for merging dataset granules together. The package is a port of the
merging functionality from the l2ss-subset-worker Java project primarily utilizing the
netcdf4-python package and a lot of multi-core optimizations. The primary merging logic was
derrived from the gov.nasa.jpl.podaac.subsetter.netcdf.NetCDFSubsetter class. The
package includes an integration with the Harmony service via harmony-service-lib.
The integration with upstream Harmony itself is currently incomplete. A fork of Harmony was
created to test the integration in the meanwhile. In order to workaround Harmony’s current
lack of support for many-to-one services and OCG’s Coverages API specification, a custom MIME
was defined as part of the output_formats for the service in services.yml. A
snippet of this workaround follows.
capabilities:
output_formats:
- application/x-netcdf4.merge
One possible route towards integrating CONCISE with Harmony and maintaining OCG API compliance
is to extend the NetCDF4 MIME with additional metadata. For example:
application/x-netcdf4;merged=true. Metadata at the end of MIMEs is seen as a valid part
of the MIME specification according to
RFC 6838.
