WCS driver

The web coverage service driver extends abstracts WxS driver with the GetCoverage feature.

Nodes

WcsServiceNode

Represents the WCS service. This node has no attribute and has as children WcsOperationNode like GetCoverage. Others children give information about the service like for example ServiceMetadata, that could give information about Supported Format inside a XmlNode. Those children are filled in by the information returned from the service's GetCapabilities request.

WcsOperationNode

Represents an operation that can be made on the service. For WCS service, the mandatory operations are GetCapabilities, DescribeCoverage, and GetCoverage. Optional operations may be provided by the service and indicated in the possibilities thereof. Those optional operations are also represented as WcsOperationNode.

For perform an operation (mandatory or optional), you can use the operator '[]' with a dict that contains the parameters of the request.

Example:

dict_request = {'COVERAGEID': 'nitrogen_5-15cm_Q0.5'}

describe_coverage = service_wcs['DescribeCoverage'][dict_request]

For mandatory operations GetCoverage and DescribeCoverage you can alternatively use Predicate WcsGetCoveragePredicate and WcsDescribeCoveragePredicate.

Specific class define WcsNodeOperationGetCoverage and WcsNodeOperationDescribeCoverage for accept respectively WcsGetCoveragePredicate WcsDescribeCoveragePredicate.

Example:

predicate = WcsGetCoveragePredicate(coverage_id='nitrogen_5-15cm_Q0.5', format='image/tiff')


get_coverage = service_wcs['GetCoverage'][predicate]

Installation

pip install drb-driver-wcs

Examples

from drb.drivers.wcs import WcsServiceNode

url_wcs='https+wcs://myserver_wcs/wcs'


service_wcs = WcsServiceNode(url_wcs)

list_cap = service_wcs[:]

print('----------------------------------------')
print('list_cap')

print(list_cap)

for child in service_wcs:
    print(child)
    print(child.name)
