📌 OpenCDMS is not a complete Climate Data Management System (CDMS) for users. Instead it is a reuable package/library for CDMS developers

📌 OpenCDMS is intentionally minimal, it includes the importable opencdms Python package and a Python web server based on pygeoapi. Other complete CDMS solutions may add extra capabilities that would be needed to use the software in production

📌 OpenCDMS supports the WMO Task Team on Climate Data Model (TT-CDM) by providing a Reference Implementation of the WMO Core Climate Data Model - Observations (WCCDM-OBS) and related standards

📌 OpenCDMS also aims to support the WMO Task Team on Information Management (ET-IM) by providing a Reference Implementation of standardised web APIs for interacting with WCCDM-OBS and related standards, built on OGC APIs including OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval and OGC API - Processes.
