11th Data Warehouse Data Access User Satisfaction Report
Issue Date xx/06/2020
INTRODUCTION
The scope of the Copernicus Space Component Data Access (CSCDA) questionnaire is for ESA to regularly collect feedback from Copernicus Services (CS) Entrusted Entities (EE), Copernicus Service Providers (CSPs) and other PRISM eligible and registered users, regarding the EO data delivered by Copernicus Contributing Missions and the associated support functions (Help and Order Desk, Data Access, Account Managers, etc.). The user feedback serves as input to the project to ensure that ESA and its industrial contracts provide the best possible response to the Copernicus Users’ needs and that improvements are implemented when needed. An analysis of the responses to the questionnaire is done per CS and across all users’ categories. The collection of users’ needs is also performed by ESA through progress meetings with the EE and CSPs. This report documents the results of the analysis of responses to the 12th DWH user satisfaction survey covering the period June 2019 to November 2019; it includes recommendations for service improvements and reports on the implementation of recommendations made following the previous survey.

Each recipient is invited to extend the survey internally to colleagues to collect feedback from all members.
A deadline for the provision of feedback is nominally set to two weeks; with one extension.
Responses are computed, analysed and commented by the Copernicus Account Management Service. The outcome is presented during Progress Meetings CSPs/ESA when applicable and published on the CSCDA web portal (https://spacedata.copernicus.eu/web/cscda/copernicus-users/users-feedback). As for the other users’ categories, a follow-up is organised through teleconferences in case provided answers result as Dissatisfied to Very Dissatisfied and/or relevant comments need further clarifications. The comments are collected through a free text field for each element of the questionnaire allowing users to add information about the encountered issues or suggestions for improvements.

CSPs have a very regular and frequent need to interface CSCDA, URPs interaction is instead less frequent.
EE/CSP /Project Name CSP CSCDA Usage Frequency
EMS Rapid Mapping CSP Weekly
Copernicus EMS Risk and
Recovery Mapping CSP Few times a week/Weekly
Copernicus EMS External Validation Mapping
CSP Not Provided
Marine Environment Monitoring Service
CSP Daily
FRONTEX CSP Few times a week

4 COMMENTS RECEIVED PER QUESTIONNAIRE ELEMENT
4.1 DAP Document
4.1.1 Usability
MARINE_EO6 commented: o In some parts the document has too much text which makes it difficult to
navigate and search for a specific subject. Perhaps a web version of the document would be a preferable alternative. Also, the abbreviations created are not always intuitive.
Public Authority commented: o It would help to provide a more structured PDF of the document, i.e. an
indexed PDF (as available from Adobe Acrobat), which allows to easily navigate between certain sections of interest.
ESA analysis: navigation through the document is the main comment to the usability of DAP, the suggestion of a Web version or an indexed PDF will be assessed.
4.1.2 Overview of CSCDA Services
EOMORES commented: o The document is way too complex. The methods of how to order were only
clear from a presentation. The helpdesk itself is great, they help to solve all problems.

Issue Date 24/06/2020 ESA-EOPDWH-COM-RP-1
ESA analysis: as mentioned above, ESA will strive to improve the readability of the DAP, however the “how to order instructions” are a topic supported rather by the ordering guidelines available on line at https://spacedata.copernicus.eu/documents/20126/0/StandardOrdering_02032020.pdf/9d964765-7c94-d51d-4b12-bae796b52fbc?t=1590680931618. The latest update was made early 2020. A user manual will soon be published with the next release of the user interface (SPDM v7) which transfer to operations is foreseen in July 2020.
4.1.3 ADDitional datasets content description
EOMORES commented:
o It is way too complex. Several of our project partners (who are experts) needed to ask about details or found out after a couple of orders that another type of product was also possible.
ESA analysis: the description of ADDitional Datasets in DAP is presented as a list of
portfolios i.e. containers of several missions all responding to the same specific requirements
of resolution, sensor type, bands, polarisations, beam types and acquisition status (Archived
or New).
A list of available processing levels/product types per dataset is instead included in the order
form as a pull-down menu for user selection when filling-in the data request.
4.2 Standard data ordering - Off line Maps
EMS Risk & Recovery commented: o In my still short experience sometimes there were misunderstandings with the
support desk with respect to specific requests made (e.g. stereo acquisitions). o the guidelines state that by default the user receives an e-mail notification
when the ordered data are available. This is not true and led me waiting for images that were already on the portal. Finally, probably because of this misunderstanding, I have never got access to the data within the 24h foreseen for fast24 orders (archive images).
ESA analysis: the relevant guidelines proved to be incorrectly stating that the delivery e-
mail notifications are set by default. The guidelines were amended in an updated version
published on line in February 2020 now bearing the correct information which explains that
the delivery notifications must be configured by the user through his personal area according
to a enable/disable icon at dataset level.
As for the issue of Stereo product ordering, the user confirmed that the issue is now clarified
with SCI support desk.

Issue Date 24/06/2020 ESA-EOPDWH-COM-RP-1
MARINE_EO6 commented:
In general, the user interface of the whole website is poor and the website flow/structure is not clear. This affects our processes given this is the only way to submit data requests. In any case, it is possible to create the requests.
EOMORES commented:
o The map works fine. However, it should be possible that this map already indicates when a shape file does not fulfil the criteria for an order. Now the help desk had to check that with the provider, communicate back to the project, we had to adjust the shape, submit again, helpdesk had to check etc.
o Very slow. o The whole system was way too complex, and the helpdesk helped us through
every type of mistake we could make. They were very friendly and were thinking along. Thanks helpdesk people!
ESA analysis: As a result of the first evolution cycle, as said above, a new version of the user interface will be released in July 2020. It will offer quite a number of improvements resulting from the collection of users’ needs and feedback on the existing tools. An early opening to Copernicus Services was done to collect feedback on the new version before its release. ESA acknowledges the problem faced with the rejection of specific AOIs due to constraints with some CCMEs that will be addressed in the contracts extension. ESA is asking CCMEs to accept any type of AOIs for catalogue search and ordering, removing any constraint (number of corners, minimum corner distance, narrow corridors, very acute corners and so on) and charging only the data of AOI requested.
4.3 SCI Support desk (interface with SCI, timeliness of enquiries and clarity of information)
EMS Risk and Recovery commented: o At the moment I have not had a very good experience for the aforementioned
reasons. However, the support desk people were always very kind and ready to provide clarifications.
ESA analysis: the user’s comment is strictly linked, as per user’s statement, to issues experienced during EO data ordering and therefore the comment is not attributable to the interface with SCI rather to the Standard ordering process and application.
MARINE_EO6 commented: o The interface via email or via the CDS portal is a slow manner of keeping track
of issues. o The workflow is very slow.
Even though the requests can be made via the website, those will be transformed into tickets in the Copernicus JIRA system waiting for the next available support person to read it.
ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use
Page 30/44 11th Data Warehouse Data Access User Satisfaction Report
Issue Date 24/06/2020 ESA-EOPDWH-COM-RP-1
Once finally that person reads the ticket then I'll receive the answers via email. Obviously this process takes days or weeks specially if there are doubts or suggestions as the communication is done in a question-answer way. Also, this gets worst since no progress happens outside working hours and days, which does not fit with our services and with business models based on satellite data acquisition times.
o ESA analysis: ESA would recommend allocation of quotas in rush datasets for the needs of MARINE_EO for faster access to the data and 24x7 support, therefore the project should submit its requirements for Rush mode to COM.
EOMORES commented: o The helpdesk did send very helpful emails
Public Authority commented:
o Helpful with registration confirmation issues
4.4 Data Access
MARINE_EO6 commented:
o FTP@ PRISM is ok to access, but difficult to find out which was which order.
One partner never managed to log in with their own username. They were
doing it right, since they did get through with my username and password.
ESA analysis: In the case of download of products delivered within standard orders, ESA recommends to use the User Personal Area and/or PANDA for a more efficient and user-friendly access; as an example, in PANDA, the search for the data can be done by Request ID. Issues with login must be dealt with by informing SCI.
EMS Rapid Mapping commented on PANDA: o I am not sure if it is working properly, the last time I used it I did not get the
results I expected so I checked in the service providers web catalogues. In
general, it is a little bit slow.
ESA analysis: The issue was due to the way the search was set in Panda; SCI guided the user to set up the correct search for the GeoEye product of interest. The user later confirmed finding of results and resolution of issue.
Public authority commented:
o Data Access did not work with the ftp service (very unresponsive and dropped connection frequently) and it was much too much labor with PANDA and a browser to download all scenes for the VHR 2018 exercise.
ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use
Page 31/44 11th Data Warehouse Data Access User Satisfaction Report
Issue Date 24/06/2020 ESA-EOPDWH-COM-RP-1
This should be one link for a package or at least a script one can let run unattended on a server
o PANDA portal has some bugs (at least with my Firefox browser) e.g. need to reload portal to generate another query
o Content of ADD: no more access to old data, often really useful o Panda: the ESA SSO gives even day long sessions, but panda keeps the
session much shorter and forces to log in again. FIX, please. The window for seeing the list of products is too small and allowing max 200 products is annoying, Getting all assets into one csv should be simple
o Search of data is not easy (selection of catalogs), and I don't like the interface Personally, I preferred EolISA
ESA analysis: Public Authorities category has access to a huge amount of data from CORE datasets from both DWH Phase 1 and Phase 2 while the licensing policy does not allow access to Additional datasets from Phase 1 (2011-2014) but those from Phase 2 are fully accessible. The large majority of the data collected so far via the DWH remains therefore available. ESA confirms that if large volumes of data are to be downloaded, FTP is the best option but in all cases, all problems should be reported immediately to the SCI who will provide support and raise the anomalies for correction. The above-mentioned issues will be verified and corrected if reproducible.
PANDA catalogue V3.1 with several improvements was recently opened to Copernicus Services for a feedback collection that led to the rapid fixing of some minor bugs and the release of V3.2 on 09 June 2020.
Following the results of PANDA survey more potential improvements for future releases of the application were identified as follows:
Simplification of the Filter Panels splitting into Basic and Advanced. Include Natural Language Processing into Basic Filter.
Online help to be added for each relevant item in a menu in order to briefly document the specific functionality of an item without the need of searching into the User Manual.
Layout will be improved in order to avoid overlapping of sections and reduced visibility of results even in small devices and lower resolutions.
Number of results displayed in the Results Table will be customizable per user.
4.5 Service Performance
CMEMS commented:
o Sentinel-1 data dissemination sometimes exceeds 3 hours timeline ESA analysis: The user could not be more specific regarding the number of products that were delivered in delay as he was waiting for the conclusion of Ice season for producing
ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use
Page 32/44 11th Data Warehouse Data Access User Satisfaction Report
Issue Date 24/06/2020 ESA-EOPDWH-COM-RP-1
statistics in support of the impact assessment. The results once ready will be forwarded to S-1 PDGS and Mission Management.
EMS Risk & Recovery commented: o So far I cannot recall any order delivered within the 24h foreseen for a fast24
order
ESA analysis: The comment is linked to the issue described earlier by the same user in the standard ordering section, having experienced issues with the delivery notifications e-mails that the user failed enabling within his Personal Area due to an incorrect information reported in the Ordering guidelines document.
MARINE_EO6 commented: o The delivery only happens after discussions with Copernicus support team which
can take several days. This should be done in a few hours instead.
ESA analysis: The comment is neither related to issues regarding the delays during processing of the products nor with the delivery notifications which are correctly configured and happen regularly. The user’s concerns address the workflow/process of requesting new products in Standard mode involving several steps such as
Creation of the requests for products covering a given AoI and period specified via user personal area.
Iterations with SCI support desk on possible issues regarding the quota usage or data availability managed through alternative options offered by the support Team.
New request to be submitted as alternative (new vs archive) The user claims that many of the steps (availability of archive data, test for sufficient budget/quota, tasking feasibility, etc.) should be resolved by the system via an automatic feedback without the human intervention.
EOMORES commented:
o Our new acquisition image was there the same day!
4.6 Data Quality
CMEMS commented: o noise floor correction is needed in Sentinel-1 EW, the Service has developed a
patch – and hopefully IPF will not change ESA analysis: the user confirmed having solved the issue by developing a separate noise floor correction for the S-1 EW mode data but requested that any change by ESA to the IPF be communicated promptly and in detail as to avoid affecting the correction currently adopted on user’s side. The Sentinel-1 team has been notified of this request.
EMS Rapid Mapping commented:
ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use
Page 33/44 11th Data Warehouse Data Access User Satisfaction Report
Issue Date 24/06/2020 ESA-EOPDWH-COM-RP-1
o some issues were reported in the progress meetings with ESA (corrupted files, wrong data delivered, no data) but no major or systematic issue
ESA analysis: Incidents are escalated to CCMEs to avoid re-occurrence. If applicable, new user’s needs are discussed during the progress meetings and logged in the User Need Compendium document for follow up with the originator.
MARINE_EO6 commented:
o The data that was available was good but most of the times there was no data available for our areas of interest and/or time period.
o Very slow response time for the resolution of quality issues ESA analysis: the first comment of the user is more related to data availability rather than quality as per user’s confirmation after consultation with Account Manager service. Regarding the timeliness of the resolution, user’s expectation would be to have a response within (maximum) one day. After checking logs of open tickets by the user during the surveyed period the resolutions times found were spanning between one and three days. Upon clarifications between the user and Account Manager service the comment "very slow response time" was agreed to be linked to the user’s aim for a machine-to-machine requests system because everything that needs to involve exchanging emails between different levels is not considered satisfactory. Some improvements were however recognized by the user in the response time from the support team via email in the last years.
4.7 Web Portal
EMS Risk and Recovery commented:
Usability; mis-information regarding to the TPM datasets that caused some trouble in an activation, that was communicated and after a few weeks corrected.
ESA analysis: the user wanted to request some ALOS Palsar archive data over Vietnam as part of ADD_013a and was referred to the TPM data access for data download however after several iterations with TPM support desk (Eohelp) It was clarified that ALOS Palsar data over Vietnam were not available because outside the European Node (ADEN). The misunderstanding by the user was caused by the lack of information on the coverage availability for ALOS Palsar which has been, since, added to the guidelines.
Public Authority commented: o Lots of unnecessary stuff - should concentrate on access to space data! o Overloaded layout imho! Could be solved by using full vertical screen dimensions.
ESA analysis: CSCDA web site is indeed full of information which may be considered redundant by Public Authority category but generally most useful to allow those users having
ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use
Page 34/44 11th Data Warehouse Data Access User Satisfaction Report
Issue Date 24/06/2020 ESA-EOPDWH-COM-RP-1
access to on demand data ordering via assigned quotas to get to know the what, where and the how. A new version of the portal was released in May and improves the look and feel.
5 11TH DWH RECOMMENDATIONS IMPLEMENTATION STATUS
This section provides the status of the implementation of the recommendations received during the 11th DWH user satisfaction survey, by questionnaire element.
5.1 DAP document
Clarity and simplification were the targets pursued since last Survey; some information were moved to the Web (CCMEs specificities, minimum order size tables) in order to make the document slimmer and to allow immediate updates of such information rather than relying on DAP publications which nominally happen once or twice a year.
5.2 Data Ordering
New requirements for the evolution of PRISM System were consolidated and managed through the User Stories mechanism. Several User Stories were implemented and many others are foreseen in the next evolution cycles. The new version of the user interface (SPDM V7) will be transferred to operations in July 2020 as the result of the first evolution cycle; its new features are stemming from expressed user needs and are addressing the harmonisation of ordering interfaces and improving the data ordering efficiency. The main changes included in SPDM V7 are:
Modifications to the general look & feel, including GUI access to the functions of the application e.g. enhanced search functions for existing EO data requests, simplified interfaces for defining (or viewing) the parameters of EO data requests and a new button for estimating the quota consumption of EO data requests.
Single entry point for submitting both Standard Data Requests and SPERFs based on an harmonized input wizard.
Improved SRT online.
5.3 Data access
The consolidation of PANDA tool was pursued; an upgrade of PANDA was offered in May 2020 on a Demo platform to Copernicus Services for assessment prior to its release in operations on 09 June 2020 (V3.2). The most recent changes implemented were:
Quicklook mosaicking: represents the ability of the system to cut out the quicklook bounding box near the intersection points with the selected AOI.
Transparency Bar for product comparison: allows the visual comparison of two products that intersect the selected AOI.
ESA UNCLASSIFIED - For Official Use
Page 35/44 11th Data Warehouse Data Access User Satisfaction Report
Issue Date 24/06/2020 ESA-EOPDWH-COM-RP-1
Time Bar (Time Bar Monthly Subdivision/Time Bar Daily Subdivision): the feature allows quick products sub query in a (monthly/daily) time interval.
Enhanced and INSPIRE compliant catalogue. During 2019, Copernicus Services were able to test the access to CCMEs data via their specific platforms. Optical CCMEs offering missions in support to Emergency and Security Rush mode
activations have been involved in a project that implied the testing of the functionalites of
each of the access platform for viewing, exploiting and downloading the data.
Airbus DS FR
Deimos Imaging
Planet
Access to three platforms (Airbus DS FR, Deimos and Planet) was granted for around one
year between October 2018 and the end of 2019.
Several helpful functionalities have been identified through testing and summarised in the following three main groups of requirements.
System design
Functionality
Accounting
These requirements are to be taken into account not only for the different platforms evolution but, in particular, for a possible centralised access point, covering as well the requirements for the interfaces to access the remote CCME catalogues.
5.4 Performance
Improvements are already implemented in the on-line interface and will soon be available to users like the harmonised forms for Standard and Rush data requests, the SRT on-line in support of REACT Service, the improved User interface. Others like the improved registration process are in the pipeline. Efforts were also concentrated on improving overall performances of the data availability to users, through pilot platforms testing for example. Regarding the data delivery by CCMEs, new timeliness requirements and new Scenarios have been prepared and will be discussed with the Copernicus Contributing Missions in June 2020.
5.5 SCI support
The positive feedback regarding user support confirms the experience gained by the SCI team who started providing the service in June 2019. Several positive comments reflect the usefulness of SCI support desk especially when there is need to complete or clarify information provided to the users in guidelines or on line.
