Overview
The Information Grounding Service is the HUMBOLDT component responsible for the discovery of geospatial data services. It does no replace existing catalogues but serves as a catalogue of catalogues being capable of discovering a huge number of different resources covering different administrative areas and registered to different catalogues. Furthermore, the Information Grounding Service discovers not just the datasets which fulfil a list of constraints; but also those can be transformed by other HUMBOLDT components in order to satisfy it.
