Description
Birdhouse is a collection of Web Processing Service (WPS) related Python
components to support big data processing in the climate science
community. WPS is an interface standard by the Open Geospatial
Consortium (OGC). The aim of Birdhouse is to make the usage of WPS easy.
It comes with supporting processes to access climate data sources (like
Earth System Grid Federation) and to chain WPS processes with a
workfow-engine. There are also processes for the climate impact
community and for quality assurance of climate data. Birdhouse uses the
Anaconda Python distribution to install WPS packages and the
dependencies of WPS processes.
