The process of ingesting data is required for the effective use of any data resource under FAIRiCUBE. This process varies depending on the nature of the data involved. FAIRiCUBE-specific data undergoes a careful ingestion process into either rasdaman data cubes or EOX systems, depending on what they need.

Specific attention is paid to ensuring the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) throughout.

Ingestion validation (including data pre-processing) is an initial part of the User Case implementation.
