The Data Access Protocol(DAP) is a protocol for requesting and transporting data across the web. By using OPeNDAP servers data can be made accessible to remote locations regardless of local storage format. A prototyped HDF5-OPeNDAP server was implemented several years ago. With the HDF5 being selected as the primary data format of NASA Aura satellite, a robust, fully supported HDF5-OPeNDAP server is necessary.
Recently NASA Headquarters Science Mission Directorate Advancing Collaborative Connections For Earth-Sun System Science (ACCESS) program has awarded a joint proposal to implement a fully supported HDF5-OPeNDAP server. This poster will discuss the design and implementation plan for this project.
