Short description | The key aspect in the early adopter demonstrator is to show how federated EOSC resources can facilitate a range of Sentinel data applications across agricultural user domains and demonstrate the use of advanced Big Data Analytics (BDA) approaches applied to multi-annual high resolution Copernicus Sentinel time series and EU open access reference data sets. |

User stories
Instruction
Requirements are based on a user story, which is is an informal, natural language description of one or more features of a software system. User stories are often written from the perspective of an end user or user of a system. Depending on the community, user stories may be written by various stakeholders including clients, users, managers or development team members. They facilitate sensemaking and communication, that is, they help software teams organize their understanding of the system and its context. Please do not confuse user story with system requirements. A user story is an informal description of a feature; a requirement is a formal description of need (See section later).
User stories may follow one of several formats or templates. The most common would be:
"As a <role>, I want <capability> so that <receive benefit>"
"In order to <receive benefit> as a <role>, I want <goal/desire>"
"As <persona>, I want <what?> so that <why?>" where a persona is a fictional stakeholder (e.g. user). A persona may include a name, picture; characteristics, behaviours, attitudes, and a goal which the product should help them achieve.
Example:
“As provider of the Climate gateway I want to empower researchers from academia to interact with datasets stored in the Climate Catalogue, and bring their own applications to analyse this data on remote cloud servers offered via EGI.”

US1 | As a farmer, I want direct access to Copernicus Sentinel imagery that covers my parcels, so that I can check how they compare in crop development within and across sets. |
US2 | In order to make a precise analysis as a user, I want the extracted imagery to be correctly georeferenced and available for the full history of acquisitions |
US3 | As an inspector in the Paying Agency, I want to generate consistent statistical time series for the whole region of interest, which may contain up to 1 million parcels, in a reasonable time frame (several days) |
US4 | As a scientist I want to be able to analyse time series from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 for 3 types of summer crops in this area to understand how the signals relate to crop phenology trends |
US5 | As a service company, I want to develop a method to inventorize all wheat parcels in a production area, to help in the planning of the deployment of combines for the harvesting operations |
US6 | As a developer, I need to integrate imagery as GeoTIFFs and time series profiles as JSON formatted responses in my farm advisory service app. |
Use cases
Instruction
A use case is a list of actions or event steps typically defining the interactions between a role (known in the Unified Modeling Language as an actor) and a system to achieve a goal.
Include in this section any diagrams that could facilitate the understanding of the use cases and their relationships.
Step | Description of action | Dependency on 3rd party services (EOSC-hub or other) |
---|---|---|
UC1 | Access to full Copernicus Sentinel archive | One or more DIAS instances need to be federated |
UC2 | Marshall scalable compute resources to facilitate parallel analysis tasks | |
UC3 | Provide transparent accounting across federated resource instances | |
UC4 | Single sign on and allow transparent resource marshalling across federated resources | |
UC5 | Provide (temporary) storage for caching essential data sets relevant for data analytics | Open data access platforms (e.g. national OGC compliant data servers) |
UC6 | Support interactive data analysis with advanced geospatial data visualization and libraries of advanced method (including ML) | |
UC7 | Provide service end points (e.g. RESTful) for client-side access to both raw data selections and analysis results | |
