What is Opensearch ?http://www.opensearch.org

OpenSearch is a collection of simple formats for the sharing of search results.

The OpenSearch description document format can be used to describe a search engine so that it can be used by search client applications

Search results can be returned as HTML, Atom, RDF, KML, json, etc.

The OpenSearch description document provides a set of URL templates which describe the query parameters accepted by the service and the variety of output formats in which results can be obtained

CNES activities on OpensearchLand Surfaces Thematic center (PTSC)

"The objective of the Land Surface Thematic Center is to facilitate the study of issues related to the impact of anthropogenic pressures on climate and ecosystems, quantify and model the water cycle and carbon monitoring developments of societies and their activities, understand the dynamics of biodiversity." 

To achieve this objective, the center will develop and make available to the scientific community data, products, processes and services related to the observation from space land surfaces.
