Algorithm Onboarding
Onboard your algorithm for future use
The results of your project are of great value, not only to you but also to the broader EO community. With the APEx Algorithm Onboarding service, we support your project to ensure that your workflows and algorithms continue to serve the community long after your project concludes. By aligning with FAIR data principles and open science standards, this service aims for long-term accessibility and reusability, making your algorithms available to future projects and research, including its integration into ESA’s Network of Resources.
Included features
The APEx Algorithm Onboarding Service offers a range of features to support algorithm adoption and ease of use.
Practical guidelines
A set of guidelines ensures algorithms are built as reusable and on-demand services, compatible with other APEx services.
Hosting platform support and catalogue registration
We help identifying the best hosting environments based on your algorithm’s requirements, including support during the onboarding process. After the onboarding process, we support your project with the registration of your service in the APEx Algorithm Catalogue.
Automated testing and benchmarking
APEx offers testing services to verify the functionality of your algorithm over time, helping maintain quality and performance.
Algorithms as services
You have the potential to create revenue streams by making algorithms available as services, including the integration with ESA’s Network of Research.
Key benefits
The main goal of this service is to support the continuity of algorithms, encouraging innovation and collaboration within the EO community.
