georetina Data Source Intake
When To Use
- Use before connecting a new STAC, COG, WMS, WMTS, PMTiles, or S3 source.
- Use when a dataset is external, unfamiliar, or recently updated.
- Use when trust, provenance, or refresh cadence matters.
Workflow
- Capture source identity: owner, endpoint, and access method.
- Validate spatial and temporal coverage against user goals.
- Check schema, key fields, and data freshness.
- Verify licensing, usage constraints, and provenance metadata.
- Produce a readiness verdict: usable now, usable with caveats, or blocked.
Guardrails
- Do not skip license and usage checks for external datasets.
- Do not hide unknown refresh cadence or missing provenance.
- Document blocking risks before moving to analysis.
