!Data Standards Workflow_small.PNG|align=right! *The OpenEarth philosophy related to data involves that important data sets, rather than working on a project-by-project basis, should be collected and be made available in a project-superceding manner.

* 

OpenEarth intends all datasets to conform with a number of basic quality criteria:

* raw data should be stored in the OpenEarthRawData repository enabling version control

* raw data should then be enriched with metadata using transformation scripts also put under version control in the OpenEarthRawData repository

 
* resulting data products should conform to the best open source standards available

 
* data products should be made available easily via webbased interfaces

To achieve this international standards are embraced like:

* [NetCDF]
* [CF parameter meta-data

|CF]
* [EPSG|http://www.epsg.org/]
* [Spatial meta-data

 codes|http://www.epsg-registry.org/] !OpenEarthBuildingBlocks.png|thumbnail,align=right!
* [INSPIRE owner meta-data|http://www.inspire-geoportal.eu]
* [Creative Commons philosophy|http://creativecommons.org/]
* [OPeNDAP|http://opendap.org/] (as running operationally for Rijkswaterstaat [MATROOS|http://matroos.deltares.nl/]), and 
* [OpenGIS|http://www.opengeospatial.org/]
** web map services ([WMS|http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wms]),
** web coverage services ([WCS|http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcs]), and
** web feature services ([WFS|http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wfs]). 

The data collection procedure and the relation between those standards is explained in the [OpenEarth Data Standards|Data Collection Protocol] document, developed in the framework of the EU FP7 Project MICORE. Currently data sets are being uploaded to the [OPeNDAP test server|http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl:8080/thredds]. Coastal [bathymetry data|http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl:8080/thredds/catalog/opendap/rijkswaterstaat/jarkus/catalog.html], [grain size fields|http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl:8080/thredds/catalog/opendap/rijkswaterstaat/grainsize/catalog.html] and [water level|http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl:8080/thredds/catalog/opendap/rijkswaterstaat/waterbase.nl/sea_surface_height/catalog.html] time series made available by
[Rijkswaterstaat|http://www.Rijkswaterstaat.nl] have already been uploaded as well as [wind|http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl:8080/thredds/catalog/opendap/knmi/potwind/catalog.html] and [meteo|http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl:8080/thredds/catalog/opendap/knmi/etmgeg/catalog.html] time series provided by [KNMI|http://www.knmi.nl]. Numerous other datasets have been or are being uploaded continually.
