"- **OpenEO**: This is an API that can be used from 3:rd party tools such as [OpenEO Webeditor](https://editor.openeo.org/?server=https%3A%2F%2Fopeneo.digitalearth.se) or OpenEO scripting client, available in languages such as Python, R and JavaScript. The Python client will be used throughout this tutorial.\n",

"### What is OpenEO?\n",
66+
"\n",
67+
"OpenEO is a collaborative European project designed to simplify access and processing of Earth observation data by offering a **standardized API** for cloud-based geospatial platforms. It allows users to perform large-scale satellite data analyses in a consistent way, without needing to manage complex infrastructure.\n",
68+
"\n",

"Several major initiatives, such as Digital Earth Africa, Digital Earth Australia, and even Google Earth, utilize OpenEO to streamline workflows, making satellite data processing accessible to a wider audience.\n",

"### Why Use OpenEO?\n",
73+
"\n",
74+
"- Standardized Workflows: OpenEO unifies how different platforms handle Earth observation data, enabling the same operations across multiple cloud providers.\n",
75+
"- Backend Processing: You don’t need powerful local machines. All heavy computations, such as mosaicking or time series analyses, run on the backend infrastructure.\n",
76+
"- Simplified Data Access: With just a few commands, you can access pre-processed satellite data collections and perform complex analyses like calculating vegetation indices or change detection.\n",
