My goal is to create a Javascript API for accessing OpenDAP metadata and an intuitive, Javascript-based data-request construction form.

Plan of action

  1. Create generalized Javascript OpenDAP-metadata bridge
    1. Write Javascript OpenDAP-metadata retrieval module (may involve server-side modifications)
    2. Write OpenDAP-metadata parser
    3. Write JSON emitter
  2. Create data request form constructor using metadata bridge
    1. Write basic form constructor to build simple but clear HTML forms
    2. Add more advanced form controls (maps, timelines, etc.) for more capable browsers
