Re: [galeon] WCS CF-netCDF profile document

Stefano & all,

one of my tasks is to come up with a template for format extensions. I
attach the current draft and would be happy to get feedback based on
your experience with the netcdf format extension.
Please note that issues such as asynchronous result communication,
single-file/multi-file response are factored out from the formats as
such, they are being covered at another, central place.

-Peter

PS: Just to make that clear, on a side note: the core/extension concept
has not been brought up by WCS, it is a paradigm worked upon by the
Architecture WG which will be adopted by all future OGC specifications
to achieve more modularity.

Hi Steve,

Sorry it has taken me so long to answer.

I am in serious agreement with the two actions proposed by you and
Ben. As anticipated by Ben, we will work on investigating a simple
approach to embedding OPeNDAP into WCS that can be achieved as a small
delta on the draft "WCS CF-netCDF profile document". Actually, this is
a great input to improve the profile document.

As soon as possible, we will circulate another profile specification
draft to the GALEON list.  Of course, any contribution is very welcome.


Thanks,

--Stefano
