NC-DAP Project Meeting

June 3rd 2008

The purpose of this meeting is to update the milestones based on our work so far. Are they realistic? Was anything overlooked? This is also a good time in the course of the project for everyone to meet each other and to take care of routine business.

Agenda

  1. NSF Annual Report Due
  2. NSF/NMI build and test system
  3. Quick review of the milestones from the kickoff meeting
  4. Translation:
    1. short-term: simplistic but correct translation
      1. what to do about grids.
    2. long-term: preserving netcdf semantics across the DAP protocol
      1. this probably requires a discussion about standardized annotations.
  5. Support for translating to the classic model.
    1. Should we maintain the existing nc-dap translation as an option for back compatibility?
  6. Removing the [...] URL prefix notation
  7. Limited selection for non-sequence data
    1. Currently, selections only apply to sequence type, but it should be possible to apply them to certain kinds of arrays as well.
  8. extending DAP data model (e.g. enumerations?)
  9. library proliferation
    1. The current integration requires hdf5, dap, curl, xml2, and zlib/szlib.
  10. Revisit the Milestones and modify as needed
