Totally agree. When I worked at Radiant Earth the most frequent question we got was "I have this data I want to share, how do I create a good STAC for it?"
It was a totally valid question but one that's practically impossible to answer. As a result there's just so much variation between STACs and you never really know what you're going to get.
- sid_tf 2y agoHi Sid here one of authors of blog. STAC being open and extensible, makes it a double edge sword yes. Quite refreshing to hear this from someone who was at Radiant coz, it shows we still haven't reached a great way of sharing data yet. What do you think of attempts like Source Cooperative?
- kbgg 2y agoThere's clearly a need for Source Cooperative given the overwhelming positive feedback we received during the beta. However, Source Cooperative is entirely dependent on Microsoft and Amazon subsidizing all of the S3 / Azure Blob Storage costs. They could pull the rug out at any moment, like we've seen with Planetary Computer, and Source Cooperative would no longer be sustainable. Disclaimer: I built Source Cooperative and left Radiant 2 months ago.
