The catalog uses  STAC to describe datasets and  OGC API - Records for workflows. Through this rich metadata on the Open Science Catalog, resources are made FAIR.

 ### Publishing Experiments Data and Workflows
-Once a research activity is complete, the results can be published to the EarthCODE ecosystem, making them findable, reproducible, and reusable by the broader scientific community. If you are working on an integrated platform, publishing is typically automated. When the experiment is finalized, the platform can generate the appropriate metadata and push it to the Open Science Catalog. If you're working outside of an integrated platform—on institutional infrastructure or locally—you can still publish your results manually by following the Open Science Catalog submission guidelines [Working with Data](../Technical%20Documentation/Data/index.md).
