The document discusses using Erddap as part of Ireland's Integrated Digital Ocean platform. Erddap is used to aggregate data from various sources and provide it to users through standardized APIs and web interfaces. This allows diverse data and applications to interoperate through common access points and data flows, minimizing the distances between different technologies and systems. The Marine Institute of Ireland has implemented this approach to integrate ocean observation data and provide open access through their Digital Ocean portal.
