CMR OpenSearch

CMR provides a search interface based on the OpenSearch concept in general and the ESIP (Earth Science Information Partners) federated search concept in particular. Usage details and sample CMR OpenSearch invocations are available in the CMR OpenSearch documentation page.

From the Open Search draft specification,

OpenSearch is a collection of simple formats for the sharing of search results. You can use Open Search formats to help people discover and use your search engine and to syndicate search results across the web.

Open Search uses Open Search Descriptor Documents (OSDDs) to describe the web interface of a search engine. We use Open Search 1.1 to provide OSDDs at the collection and granule level for searching the CMR inventory.

As a convenience, we provide atom and html views of our holdings. All collection and granule resources can be viewed using the .atom or .html extension.
