Table information for 'usgs_wms.epn_core'

General

Table Description: Catalogue of USGS Astrogeology WMS Map Layers

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: EPN-TAP access to a selection of Astrogeology WMS Map Layers listed at https://astrowebmaps.wr.usgs.gov/webmapatlas/Layers/maps.html. These layers are exposed via https://planetarymaps.usgs.gov/ The database lists various global mosaics for most planetary bodies in the Solar System. The field external_link contains a link to a WMS web viewer for that map. The field access_url contains a link to the GetCapabilities request for the server, which serves as an endpoint for interfacing with QGIS. Hare, T. M., et al. 2014 "Online Planetary Data and Services at USGS Astrogeology", Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 45.
