Time series as THREDDS joins
of NetCDF files
• Store catalog level metadata in VO
• Create a folder in the Data Store to store
multiple NetCDF files
• Create a folder.ncml file in the Data Store to join
multiple NetCDF files into one time series
“database”
• Subselect (hyper-slab) time series from the
joined “database” using OpenDAP protocol and
clients (link from catalog metadata record)
Enhanced THREDDS Catalog
• Adds XML (NCML) metadata file to the
binary granule
• NCML metadata can be used in WCS or
rendered into HTML for a web client
• NCML granule data CAN NOT be
searched using xQuery or xPath

NCML? Can’t get it directly from THREDDS…
CDFML? Can’t get only header using CDF2XML…
ECHO? No software extractors…
SPASE? No CDFML2SPASE, no use cases/samples
• How manipulate folders in the THREDDS Data
Store?
• What OpenDAP viewer to use as default?
