Spectral Library: A Proposal for Data Model

In remote sensing, the spectral behavior of targets (also called spectral signature) related to the interaction process between matter and incident electromagnetic radiation (EMR) allows the identification of several materials. Organizing all this information in spectral libraries has its importance in the most diverse areas of scientific investigation and is carried out by various organs and institutions. However, as there is no model for structuring the data, each responsibly organizes according to their need. In this context, this work after analyzing the data of some libraries, proposes a data model to facilitate standardization and interoperability.
