+This file is part of PetaScope, a free implementation of the Open GeoSpatial Consortium (OGC, www.opengeospatial.org) Web Coverage Service (WCS) standards suite. As such, it implements the following interface standards:
+- Web Coverage Service (WCS) 1.1.2
+- WCS Processing Extension 1.0.0, which grounds on Web Coverage Processing Service (WCPS) 1.0.0
+- WCS Transaction Extension (WCS-T) 1.4.0
+ 
+In addition, you can find a demo implementation of the Web Coverage Service (WCS) 2.0, which is currently under development.
+
+PetaScope is implemented as a Java servlet. As such, it relies on the following freely available components which are not part of the PetaScope distribution:
+- rasdaman (www.rasdaman.org) as raster server
+- Tomcat (tomcat.apache.org) as servlet container
+- PostgreSQL (www.postgresql.org) as relational database system
