Configuration
Programmed instructions for the framework how to access data. This includes but is not limited to
- For Cube Coverages:
- Information of variables and dimensions automatically extracted from netCDF-CF files.
- Hand-edited python dictionaries describing the netCDF files, their variables and dimensions.
- Configuring NetCDF based Cube Data
- For Point Coverages:
- Hand-edited python dictionaries describing Names and Columns of Location and Data tables.
- Location Table Configuration
- Data Table Configuration
Metadata
Abstract, Contact Information, Keywords and any other such documentation that is needed in classifying or finding the service. The metadata is accessible for the user via capabilities and coverage description documents.
SQL Database for Points
Currently the datafed WCS for points supports one kind of point data: Fixed locations and regular intervals.
