The goal of stac4cast is to generate STAC catalogs for forecasts.
You can install the development version of stac4cast from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("eco4cast/stac4cast")The STAC metadata standard essentially defines three levels of objects:
- Items
- Catalogs
- Collections
An item is a core atomic unit of data. A catalog is a list of items, a collection is an extension of a catalog that adds additional metadata. These objects are represented as JSON files on a static website, linked by URLs. Once created, STAC can be visualized and explored using tools such as stac browser and queried programmatically with packages such as rstac
