Context
Two viewers are available in EDITO. One enables data exploration, focused on Copernicus Marine and EMODnet data, and a second one allows data integration. EDITO users can share their data through the integration viewer and visualize it directly from the interface.
š Note: These two viewers are temporary. In the future, a single unified viewer will be used for both data visualization and integration.
As mentionned in the documentation, you will need to have Copernicus Marine credentials to download Copernicus Marine and EMODnet data on the EDITO MyOcean Viewer.
Key differences between explore and integrate
Dimension | EXPLORE | INTEGRATE |
Data source | Official Copernicus Marine & EMODnet datasets | Official Copernicus Marine & EMODnet datasets & User datasets |
Access mode | Read-only | Publish, manage, share |
Technical level | Low | Medium to high |
Complexity | Simple | Advanced |
Main objective | Discovery and visualization | Integration and operational use |
Explore Viewer - EDITO MyOcean Viewer
The EDITO MyOcean Viewer is a powerful data visualization and download interface. Its main objective is to let users exploring the EDITO data catalogue, by displaying data on a map in 4 dimensions (latitude, longitude, depth and time).
The EDITO MyOcean Viewer has an intuitive, detailed, easy-to-use interface. It is available on all computers via any web browser. You will be able to browse near-real-time data, download datasets, create maps, videos and share them!
You can view and download data from Copernicus Marine, EMODnet, and other providers (see more here), but you can also upload your own datasets to view them.

Integrate Viewer
How to integrate data?
There are two ways to integrate data within the integrate viewer:
Use the integration API. For more information, see the Interact with the Data API documentation
Use the Stacify service, which provides a graphical interface for the API endpoints
How to use Stacify?
Complete STAC metadata: After starting Stacify, fill in the āSTAC Organizationā section with:
A collection
A catalogue (new or existing)
A parent catalogue (if needed)
Add your dataset: Point to your NetCDF/Zarr dataset folder. Store it in āMy Filesā (EDITO permanent storage) and ensure itās publicly shared.
Preview your catalogue: Review the generated catalogue in step 2.
Publish to STAC API:
Upload your STAC-formatted catalogue to EDITO permanent storage
Enter your EDITO credentials (username and password) in the āEDITO Authenticationā section (bottom left)
Obtain an access token and publish to the STAC API
