T, Actually its OPeNDAP, not OPenDAP. And it stands for: Open-source Project for Network Data Access Protocol.Regarding your question about the capitalization of the letter "P" in the acronym, I think that a more compelling question is: Why is there a lower case "e"?
For quite some time I thought that it was "OpenDAP = Open Data Access Protocol". I was however, misinformed.
As to your final question, I suspect that a violent revolution could be triggered by changing the capitalization of the acronym at this time.
Cheers, NathanPS - I pointed out to James that the opendap.org web site does not contain the expansion of the acronym and he said he would address this oversight.

It's driving me nuts, and I can't find it anywhere. Why is the P in OPenDAP capitalised? Does anyone mind if I call it OpenDAP instead? :)Cheers, -T
