Abstract:

OPeNDAP stands for “Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol.” The OPeNDAP protocol provides a discipline-neutral means of requesting and providing data across the World Wide Web. The goal is to allow all end users to access immediately whatever data they require in a form they can use, all while using applications they already possess and are familiar with. This article introduces the available OPeNDAP servers, and elaborates on the design and building of the OPeNDAP-based Sharing Platform of Physical Oceanographic Data of the South China Sea, which uses the GDS (GrADS Data Server), Dapper and THREDDS (Thematic Realtime Environmental Distributed Data Services) data servers to realize OPeNDAP services of wind, current, wave, Argo, and tide data. It also presents the OPeNDAP Services of the Sharing Platform. With the help of OPeNDAP, the service system achieves the objective of seamless access to physical oceanographic data of the South China Sea in a highly heterogeneously distributed environment over the network.

Key words: OPeNDAP, Distributed Oceanographic Data System, physical oceanographic data, data services
