EU JRC: Discover the JRC Big Data Analytics Platform (BDAP)

The Platform is devised to play an instrumental role in advancing JRC to better mobilise and synthesise its collective knowledge and expertise in support to the EC priorities. A model for GMES?
BDAP Services



BDAP stands for "The JRC Big Data Analytics Platform". It is the successor of the JRC Earth Observation Data and Processing Platform (JEODPP) and widens the scope of the platform towards any type of Big Data analytics. The commonly known name "JEODPP" is still in use in most documentations and service URL's.

The BDAP services are offered via servers dedicated to storage and servers dedicated to processing. On top of the hardware layer, four main services are built: JEO-batch, JEO-desk, JEO-lab, JEO-cloud

The JEO-batch service provides computing power to the JRC experiments for tasks such as high scale image processing, data analysis and simulation. The JEO-desk is a data science desktop terminal service. The JEO-lab interactively analyzes and visualizes data via a dedicated API. The JEO-cloud is to provide users with an easy way to transfer data (small datasets, documents, scripts...) between their computer and the BDAP infrastructure (in both directions) while relying on a web-based protocol.

The access to any of the JEODPP services requires prior registration via the registration page.

Links with GMES and Africa

The JRC is one of the two components of the EUC Technical Assistance to the GMES and Africa Programme, the other being an on-site team via the hiring of a consortium of european private companies. The JRC devised the eStation, contributed with EUMETSAT to their deployment in Africa during the AMESD, MESA and GMES-1 programs (156 e-stations); and to the training of the beneficiaries/operators. More about the e-station. https://estation.jrc.ec.europa.eu/

Exchanges between The SSO (Sahara and Sahel Observatory, one of the 12 GMES funded Consortia in Africa) and JRC have been initiated in December 2020, to migrate onto the JEODPP the MISLAND geoportal developed by OSS in the framework of GMES and Africa.  MISLAND (Monitoring Integrated Services for LAND degradation) is a platform developed by OSS that helps to monitor the land degradation within different indicators.
