Qubed provides a datastructure primitive for working with trees of DataCubes. If a normal tree looks like this:
```
root
├── class=od
│ ├── expver=0001
│ │ ├── param=1
│ │ └── param=2
│ └── expver=0002
│ ├── param=1
│ └── param=2
└── class=rd
├── expver=0001
│ ├── param=1
│ ├── param=2
│ └── param=3
└── expver=0002
├── param=1
└── param=2
```
A compressed view of the same set would be:
```
root
├── class=od, expver=0001/0002, param=1/2
└── class=rd
├── expver=0001, param=1/2/3
└── expver=0002, param=1/2
```
Qubed provides all the algorithms on this data structure you would expect such as intersection/union/difference, compression, search, filtering etc.
In addition to this core datastructure, this repostitory contains a collection of components designed to deliver user friendly cataloging for datacube data. The STAC Server, Frontend and a periodic job to do tree compression can be deployed together to kubernetes using the [helm chart](./helm_chart). Thise deployment can then be accessed either via the Query Builder Web interface or the python client.
## 📦 Components Overview
### 🚀 [Qubed STAC Server](./stac_server)
> **FastAPI STAC Server Backend**
- 🌟 Implements our proposed [Datacube STAC Extension](./structured_stac.md).
- 🛠️ Allows efficient traversal of ECMWF's datacubes.
- Part of the implementation of this is [🌲 Tree Compressor](./tree_compresser), a **compressed tree representation** optimised for storing trees with many duplicated subtress.
- 🔗 **[Live Example](https://qubed.lumi.apps.dte.destination-earth.eu/api/v1/stac/climate-dt/?class=od%2Cd1&dataset=climate-dt)**.
---
### 🌐 [Qubed Web Query Builder](./web_query_builder)
> **Web Frontend**
- 👀 Displays data from the **STAC Server** in an intuitive user interface.
- 🌍 **[Try the Live Demo](https://qubed.lumi.apps.dte.destination-earth.eu/)**.
---
### TODO: 🐍 [Qubed Python Query Builder](./python_query_builder)
> **Python Client**
- 🤖 A Python client for the **STAC Server**.
- 📘 Reference implementation of the [Datacube STAC Extension](./structured_stac.md).
---
## 🚀 Deployment Instructions
Deploy all components to **Kubernetes** using the provided [Helm Chart](./helm_chart).
---
### 🛠️ Future Enhancements
- Intgration **Query Builder Web** with Polytope to contruct a full polytope query.
- A JS polytope client implementation to allow performing the polytope query and getting the result all in the browser.
