IOOS Gateway
From OPeNDAP Documentation
Changes to the DAP, Hyrax, or other proposals stemming from the IOOS Gateway Project.
Much of the IOOS gateway work is focused on:
- Providing DAP2 protocol access to WCS served data.
- Providing WCS access to data served by OPeNDAP servers.
[edit] DAP2 access to data served by WCS
[edit] DAP2.1 Namespace
There have been some proposed changes to the DAP2 namespace (for the DDX) to hep accommodate this work.
[edit] WCS Server (to provide WCS access to data served via DAP2)
A WCS server must support three basic operations, GetCapabilities, DescribeCoverage, and GetCoverage. All of the currently existing specifications for WCS (1.0.x, 1.0+, 1.1.x, more? ) define a KVP encoded request (a URL to be used in an HTTP GET transaction) API and a SOAP API. Both API's provide the same three interfaces.
