Data Servers: Technical Realization (IT) Issues and Solutions
Issues re. the use of netCDF
netCDF is standard format for multi-dimensional data. Cf-netCDF is used both as an archival format of grid data as well as a payload format for WCS queries. Issues: Python interface issue/question here ...in about one sentence
WCS versions
WCS is implemented in multiple versions: 1.0, 1.12, 2.0. The AQ Community Server (AComServ) is now implemented using WCS 1.1.2. Define here the WCS version (WCS 2.0) issue in about one sentence
Use of WMS, WCS, WFS
Data display is through WMS. AQ data can be delivered through WCS, WFS. In AComServ, WCS for transferring ndim grid and point-station data; WFS for deliver monitoring station descriptions. [Define here issues related to this choice
