An HDF-EOS Data Server Based on OpenDAP and ECHO

We describe a data server for publishing HDF-EOS datasets to the web. This system makes HDF-EOS datasets:

• Findable - the datasets are visible on the web to their intended users, both in generic web search engines and in domain-specific search tools like ECHO.
• Browseable - each dataset has a web page associated with it that displays its metadata readably, and has links to allow fetching the data.
• Retrievable - for each dataset, there is a way to retrieve:
  • The whole dataset
  • Just the metadata
  • Individual fields from the dataset
  • Partial, sectorized data from fields
