The SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) family of specifications aim to standardize the way geospatial asset metadata is structured and queried. A “spatiotemporal asset” is any file that represents information about the Earth at a certain place and time. The original focus was on scenes of satellite imagery, but the specifications now cover a broad variety of uses, including sources such as aircraft and drone and data such as hyperspectral optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), video, point clouds, lidar, digital elevation models (DEM), vector, machine learning labels, and composites like NDVI and mosaics. STAC is intentionally designed with a minimal core and flexible extension mechanism to support a broad set of use cases. This specification has matured over the past several years, and is used in numerous production deployments.
