Data Information and Management System
for Earth Observation
The Data Information and Management System for Earth Observation DIMS-EO is a distributed software system for administering digital data products - in particular for the area earth observation via satellites. DIMS-EO provides comprehensive functions for long-term archiving, the generation of products based on primary data received from satellites as well as the administration, delivery and invoicing for these products including online user services.

DIMS-EO has been developed in a close and successful cooperation between the German Remote Sensing Data Center DFD and Werum.

Product Library  Top of Page
A central component of DIMS-EO is the "Product Library", which is used as source and destination for product generation and ensures product completeness and consistency. On this basis the component "Order Management" controls the data flow for order handling up to delivery via the component "Online/Offline Delivery": online via Internet or offline on storage media (CD, DVD, tape).

Interface components handle the communication with users, processing systems, external systems and operators.
Projekt examples
At the German Remote Sensing Data Center DIMS-EO is in successful operation for data products relating to earth observation.

DIMS-EO is designed as a modular, component-based system. A distinguished feature of the open architecture is its high configurability thus enabling an easy adaptation to product structures and performance requirements of new applications.

Due to this flexibility DIMS-EO can also be applied by other institutes dealing with the management of earth observation data. DIMS-EO is exclusively marketed by Werum.
