Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on ArcGIS Pro, a Windows-only desktop application, and all configuration steps, screenshots, and tool references are specific to the Windows environment. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, nor are any cross-platform or command-line alternatives provided. The workflow assumes the use of Windows GUI tools and does not mention Linux-compatible GIS tools or methods.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent instructions for Linux users, such as using ArcGIS Pro alternatives (e.g., QGIS) or command-line tools (e.g., GDAL, ogr2ogr) to access Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro GeoCatalog data.
  • Include examples of how to authenticate and connect to the GeoCatalog using open-source, cross-platform tools and libraries (e.g., Python scripts with pystac-client, requests, or Azure SDKs).
  • Add a section or callout that explicitly states the platform limitations of ArcGIS Pro and suggests Linux-compatible workflows for similar tasks.
  • Where possible, provide CLI-based instructions (e.g., using az CLI, curl, or Python) for authentication and data access, which can be run on any OS.
  • Mention and link to documentation for Linux-friendly GIS tools and how they can be configured to access the same data sources.
