Abstract

The development of web technologies and their integration into various fields has allowed a new era in data-driven decision-making and public information accessibility, especially through their adoption of monitoring and quantification environmental data resources provided by governmental institutions. While the use of web technologies has given way to the creation of democratized applications, challenges persist in dealing with non-standardized data formats, especially considering the complexities of environmental data. To overcome these challenges and obtain up-to-date information from different institutions, we present Geo-WC: a web component framework specifically designed for earth and environmental sciences, serving as a bridge across various scientific domains. The Geo-WC utilizes a developer-friendly approach through simple HTML declarative syntax to unify information in a consolidated processing interface, allowing accessibility to users with different skill sets. The framework integrates widely used web technologies, facilitating client-side data analysis, visualization, and accessibility within web browsers.
