Re: [galeon] WCS CF-netCDF profile document

Hi Roy,

I've been meaning to ask you - who were/are the users of the EDC?
What community were they from?

The "Environmental Data Connector" was developed because ArcGIS is in heavy
use in NOAA/NMFS and NOAA/NOS and there was a demand for being able to
easily input satellite data into ArcGIS.  Not my tool of choice, but that of
many of our customers, and since we are not geting a $700Billion bailout, we
listen to our customers.

Same reason we have WCS through THREDDS  (for a vast array of data), though
at present it is hardly used.
