Overview
The REGARDS project (REnouvellement des outils Génériques d’Accès et d’aRchivage pour les Données Spatiales) is at the convergence between two Data Preservation and valorization tools, SIPAD-NG and SITools2. It is a full ground segment product and it can be used by any data center in charge of the implementation of data archiving and/or in charge of a mission or a data center access (research lab or IT services company).
Space Business Unit is responsible for the design, development, integration, maintenance and ppen source promotion.
Features
REGARDS allows:
- To integrate data and metadata supplied by producers in standard or non standard formats with a high degree of efficiency,
- To valorize metadata by enrichment and to make them available to the scientific community via standard interoperability protocols and advanced search interface displays,
- To archive data and metadata in a sustainable way,
- To manage the data from an administrator point of view,
- To allow remote processes via standard protocols (WPS, UWS),
- To be monitored.

Services
Since November 2015, CSSI is responsible for the development of REGARDS. After that, a migration to REGARDS of the projects using SIPAD-NG and SITools2 will be performed. A one year warranty phase and a three years maintenance phase is planned.
For the moment, the REGARDS project in in its coding/unit tests phase.
