DIAS–Earth Environment Data Integration and Analysis System

Our group has been developing and operating a platform to acquire, archive, and manage various data related to the Earth's environment to make it available to researchers across a wide range of fields. Development of this system began in the 1980s to receive, archive, and distribute Asian satellite image data. Currently, the system covers a variety of data including weather, climate change, disaster prevention, biodiversity, health, and agriculture. Today, the Data Integration and Analysis System (DIASa) is a large-scale analysis platform with huge storage and more than 10,000 registered users (half of them in Japan and the other half primarily in Asia). As shown in the accompanying figure, users can easily use data collected by the common collection API through the common use API, and they can operate services at the application layer.
