Data Servers: Technical Realization (IT) Issues and Solutions
netCDF is standard format for multi-dimensional data. Cf-netCDF is used both as an archival format as well as a payload format for WCS queries. [Define here the python interface issue/question in about one sentence].
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]
What are WCS issues/solutions for delivering grid data [This is a loaded questions…how to tackle it?]
What are WCS issues/solutions for serving station-point data? [This is a loaded questions…how to tackle it?]
What are WCS server performance issues/solutions? [Define performance issues, measurements
Server co-development tools, maintenance, version control, Documentation
Relationship to non-AComServ WCS servers
