AB: The THREDDS Data Server (TDS) is an open-source, pure Java web application that runs inside a Tomcat web server and provides metadata and data access to scientific datasets. The TDS integrates THREDDS Catalog services, an OpenDAP data server, an experimental OGC Web Coverage Server, and other web services, using the NetCDF Common Data Model to read and serve scientific data. The Common Data Model (CDM) is an abstract data model that the NetCDF (Unidata), HDF5 (NCSA) and OPeNDAP (University of Rhode Island) developers are working towards. The CDM also adds "Georeferencing Coordinate Systems" and specialized "Scientific Data Type" layers, which provide the semantics needed to convert datasets to other protocols and formats such as those required by GIS systems. This talk will overview the TDS and CDM functionality, and report on present status and future plans.
