eodal.metadata.database.ingestion.add_region(region_identifier: str, region_file: Path) → None[source]

Adds a new region to the database. Regions are geograhic extents (aka bounding boxes) used to organize archive queries (e.g., from CREODIAS) as these queries need some kind of geographic extent to be efficient.

Parameters:

  • region_identifier – unique region identifier (e.g., ‘CH’ for Switzerland)

  • region_file – shapefile or similar vector format defining extent of the region. Will be reprojected to geographic coordinates (WGS84) if it has a different projection.
