DESCRIPTION:The concept of “Analysis Ready Data” (ARD) was initially de
 veloped around 2015 within the Committee on Earth Observation Satellite (C
 EOS). CEOS defines ARD as “satellite data that have been processed to a 
 minimum set of requirements and organized into a form that allows immediat
 e analysis with a minimum of additional user effort and interoperability b
 oth through time and with other datasets”. Over the course of the past f
 ew years CEOS has issued a number of so-called ‘Product Family Specifica
 tions’ (PFS) which cover a variety of different sensing methods and obse
 rved parameters. Institutional and commercial satellite data providers hav
 e accepted these specifications and by now a broad variety of satellite im
 age products are available as “CEOS-ARD certified”.\nThe popularity of
  the concept and the expectation for the ARD ‘label’ in terms of simpl
 ified usability and interoperability of a wealth of EO data has spurred th
 e desire to expand ARD beyond classical EO parameters by including higher 
 level products and to cover geospatial data more generically. This prompte
 d a discussion on which categories\, levels\, or classes of analysis ready
  data are needed and how they could be defined and distinguished. These co
 nsiderations are now taken up by a formal ISO/OGC Standard Working Group (
 SWG) which was launched recently.\nIn the meantime\, the amount of availab
 le geospatial data increases exponentially and many of these are available
  free&open and calling themselves ‘ARD’. However\, users relying on th
 eir interoperability are often overwhelmed by their diversity and remainin
 g inconsistencies which often require considerable effort before appropria
 te data can be selected and joined sensibly. Access to proper reference da
 ta and benchmarking methods is therefore an important factor for leveragin
 g ‘ARD’ in the future.
