  • The D4 spec is broken into two parts: The Data model and the Web services descriptions. In addition, there is a provision for extensions that cover additional behavior. Examples of likely extensions are JSON responses and Server processing operations.
  • Metadata in one response
  • Data model: Coverages, Groups, 64-bit integers, other types
  • Checksums for all data responses
  • Encoding of data responses
    • Reader makes right
    • reliable error delivery while returning data
  • Constraints
    • Subsetting coverages
    • Filters are per variable
  • DSR: per-dataset capabilities document; fixes an inconsistency when a 'bare URL' is dereferenced
  • Asynchronous behavior
  • Web services
    • Defines how the protocol is used with HTTP --> implies that we've thought explicitly about using it with other protocols
    • Alternate media types - content negotiation
    • DSR --> HATEOS
