A helper for data scientists The EDP (Environmental Data Platform), manage by Center for Sensing Solutions of Eurac Research, is a compound of several open-source software and components for data and metadata management. In particular, it provides tools to (i) discover the types of data available, to (ii) process big datasets and to (iii) visualize them. The EDP encompasses openEO, JupyterHub, Maps (based on Geonode) and Geonetwork software, among others. The EDP portal is a web application which helps the viewer accessing and exploring the environmental data platform, acting as unique access point to the EDP platform. In more detail, the EDP portal has three main features: an intuitive data discovery interface, a dedicated data processing environment (for python and R scripting) and a comprehensive documentation repository.

34. • Authentication and Authorization system based on Open-Source
software Keycloak (Identity and Access Management System)
• Both platforms (EDP-portal and OpenDataHub) make use the same
Software component based on Keycloak
• Federation was possible by adding an IdP (Identity Provider) on each
platform that interconnects via the OpenID Connect protocol
