Abstract

The development of web technologies and their integration into various fields has allowed a new era in data-driven decision-making and public data accessibility, especially through their adoption of monitoring and quantification environmental resources provided by governmental institutions. The use of web technologies has made it possible to create applications that can be accessed and used by a wide user base. However, dealing with the complexity of environmental data and non-standard data formats remains a hindering issue. 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 bring together data in a single interface that is easy for developers to work with, making it accessible to users of varying skill levels. The framework integrates widely used web technologies, facilitating client-side data analysis, visualization, and accessibility within web browsers.
