Selected Server Topics
Design Issues
- WCS version 1.0, 1.1.2, 2.0?
- Combining WMS, WFS, WCS?
Server for Different Data Types
- Grid data (model, emiss., sat.)
- Point-Station (surf. Netw.)
- Other data types?
Server Maintenance-Support
- SourceForge, Docum. Guides
- Server code governance
Server Performance
- Remote access or cache (??)
- Extraction of vertical levels (WCS problem)
- Streaming concept:
* idea is to speed delivery of netcdf files by avoiding a local copy action before the download * requires separation of header creation and data transfer (this is probably accomplished in C API but we are not sure about Python API) * requires knowledge about new file dimension before creation (to show status bar etc.) * might not require "real streaming formats" such as ncstream [ncstream is a new format that differs from classic netcdf or netcdf 4, hence users would have to locally convert from ncstream to netcdf if they want a netcdf file in the end. Therefore, ncstream may be useful for specific client applications, but maybe not for general file download]
- Request caching (store metadata so that they are available for a subsequent request with same parameters)
- File caching (seems to work for Windows but failed on Linux - would be obsolete if streaming works)
